Last night I ran my 72nd consecutive day of running.  My training plan for yesterday was to run 12 miles around the Egg Lake Loop, but a cramp in my right calf caused me to cut the run short at 8 miles and walk the reminder miles home.  I was running with my friend Stan, who went ahead and finished, then drove out and gave me a ride home.

I was disappointed that I cramped.  I was happy that I finished my 72nd day.  I am proud of this accomplishment.  This goal of Streak Running has give me some purpose.

The other day I read about a woman, Roz Savage, who is solo rowing a small boat from San Francisco to Australia.  Before this adventure she had rowed across the Atlantic Ocean.  Amazing.  Talk abut an accomplishment.
