Unfortunately, the Run Streak has come to an end after 366 days.

I had intended to continue the run streak until I didn’t feel like doing it any more. However, a minor injury to my Achilles has forced me to stop and allow proper healing before running more. During my long run this past weekend, I developed some soreness in my left heel. It was sore running the next few days, just barely getting a mile in to finish one year of the run streak. In fact, I didn’t even feel all that celebratory about the accomplishment because the heel was not feeling well.

I iced and elevated my heel all day yesterday before going out to run a mile to keep the streak going. The heel actually felt good on the run and I thought I might have been able to get past a minor injury. However, it hurts even more today. A smart runner knows when to say when – especially if that runner is an emergency physcian.

So, it is with heavy heart to announce the streak is ending, but I will allow the Achilles to heal and I’ll be back running again soon.

My final run streak day (was the start of week 53):
