We are 11 Days into June, and both my of streaking challenges are still alive! I now have a few streaking challenges related facts for your enjoyment.
Runner’s World Summer Streaking Challenge Facts:
- Days run in a row: 14
- Longest run: 3 miles (on Memorial Day) All the rest of my runs are between 1 mile and 1.36 miles.
- Fastest run: 1 mile in 9:56 the day after Memorial Day
- Number of runs on the treadmill: 1 (It rained on hard last Wednesday. No way I was getting my tresses wet.)
My running spot, a 1 mile round trip from my door to here and back.
Life is a Run Tone it Up Challenge Facts:
- Days in a row that I’ve done push-ups + a plank: 10
- Longest plank: 38.3 seconds. (That seems very lucky since 38 was Stephen’s lacrosse number in high school, and 3 was my high school volleyball number.)
- Shortest plank: 25.2 (on the 1st. They’ve been lasting longer and longer.)
- Most push-ups in one sitting: 9 (on the 4th and yesterday)
- Fewest push-ups in one sitting: 5 (on the 3rd) push-ups are hard!
- Muscles that hurt after doing push-ups/planks: all (I repeat, push-ups are hard!)
There are 20 days remaining in the Tone It Up Challenge and 24 left in the summer running streak. That sounds like a lot, but at this point, I am on a roll. It takes me 15 minutes tops to run a mile, do my max number of push-ups, and hold a plank as long as I can. 15 minutes a day is a pretty easy commitment for me to keep.
I never used to be a fan of streaking (I’m a girl fiercely devoted to rest days), but these challenges have been a good boost for me. Just enough to get me going, not so much to wear me out or get me overwhelmed. I’m just gonna cross my fingers that I can continue to keep the streak alive!*
A lot of girls can’t do ANY push ups, so you are rocking those out. I love when I see other girls do push ups too.
I sure am trying! This is the most push-ups I have ever done! Hopefully my guns will start buldging soon.*
If Stephen was there, would he pick on your push-up form? I have a feeling my boyfriend would do that to me.
Keep it up!!!
I’m sure my form in the eyes of the Army sucks! Plus, I can do so few. Stephen was ribbing me for that earlier today.*
You are doing awesome!! And love that connection to Stephen! =)
Thanks! The challenge is really keeping me motivated!*
Great job! Streaking… I mean, streaks… can be fun.
Haha! Streaking is fun!*
I’ve only done one streak, on my own- one month of at least one hour of some sort of exercise a day. At first it was great, but that I lost steam- obligation totally kills things for me.
