I'm allowing that maintaining the streak is perhaps the prime motivation when you are finding it hard to drag one's sorry ass out of bed every day. So maybe it's a good thing if it keeps you running.

I stopped running maybe 7 or 8 years ago. This thread has me wanting to go back to a mile a day or so — I'm past 60 years old now and more concerned about my health than I used to be.

A sequence of 5k race times (and ages) from yesterday:

    21:34 — 65 
    22:49 — 64 
    23:04 — 61
    23:41 — 64
    24:45 — 75
    24:57 — 63
    25:06 — 67
    25:41 — 66
    25:52 — 66
    26:37 — 63
    27:01 — 73
    27:31 — 70
    27:52 — 74
    28:49 — 76
    29:29 — 61
    30:34 — 78
    30:55 — 86
    31:03 — 72
    31:14 — 68

    & another 14 older than 60

It will be good for you. Start with a mile/day for three weeks. From there the past days will push you forward.
