Ok so not that sort of streaking, don't really want to be arrested in Bogotá I'm sure that would cause all sorts of trouble.
At thanksgiving Runner's World ran a running participation challenge to run 1mile per day between thanksgiving and new year, the main idea was to keep people from gaining the excess weight some people manage to gain around that time and encourage people to get out running when the weather was perhaps not the best. Since my wife and Emily decided to do this I thought I would give it a go, I didn't manage the whole time but did manage to complete 26 runs and a total distance of 105km.
Given the lack of any exercise for the past two months due to illness (stupid Bogotá flu) I am going to attempt this next streak to try and get myself back in some sort of shape and try to stop loosing weight (yes that is right I stop exercise and I loose weight). This time the streak will be between two American holidays, Memorial day (28th May) and Independence day (4th July). It has the same format as last time so at least a mile per day of running every day.
