During the last 3 months of the streak I got more into CrossFit, and eventually it took the priority over running every single day. I still run, but something had to give as I needed to begin looking at recovery days. It was the hardest decision I ever made, to stop the streak, but in the end it was the best decision too. I ran a 10 miler and a half marathon during the streak, and I'm registered for another half this April. Still running just not daily.

That's one hell of a streak! Congrats on achieving that!
While not due to a long streak, I also realized that as I am upping the mileage I have to start training other ways as well. I'm in the gym now in addition to the running to help develop a better core (and also not look like a beanpole - ha).
I figured I'd start streaking this year and see how long it goes. I don't anticipate it will even be 31 days - 500+ is sick!! Anyone else?
