Story
Sad to say, the mile I jogged this morning at the Lansing High School track will be the end of my FLRC Challenge daily streak. Since day 2, on April 19th, I’ve logged at least one Challenge run every day for 41 consecutive days.
I’m writing this from Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, where I’m running the Rabid Raccoon 100-mile tomorrow. This has been a goal race for me for the past 6 months. All the Challenge mileage made for a solid training block, including some short and super easy runs on what would normally be rest days, to keep my overall daily streak alive. (I’m trying to run at least one mile a day every day in 2026.)
Ironically the Brady’s Run County Park Rec Center, where the race is staged, has an indoor track where we start and finish, but the track is partially fenced off because of the way the aid station, lap, and start/finish area is set up. Walking several laps around the track is impossible this weekend. Otherwise I’d maybe be dumb enough to hobble through 8 laps for a cooldown run on Sunday to keep up with the streak. Maybe I’ll try for another longer Challenge streak once I’m recovered from this one ![]()
Thank you to @kuwanna (who’s also running the race) for taking this first pic.
