End of the Running Streak
2 days after the Shamrock Marathon and with my Running Streak standing at 475 consecutive days, I decided to put an end to it. Reasons are numerous, but the main ones are as follows:
1. Lately there have been too many ‘junk’ 2 milers, mainly for reason #2.
2. Right shin has been bothering me for quite some time - the only way it’s going to heal completely is to rest completely for a period of time.
3. Don’t really need the pressure of ‘having to run today’.
There are several other minor reasons, but these are the main three. I’m looking forward to having a 2 to 3 week break with the aim of coming back fresh and with renewed motivation. Shamrock took a lot out of me, both physically and mentally, and it’s time to recharge my batteries…..
