My heart stopped my streaking

My running streak has come to an end.  I went into atrial fibrillation yesterday.  Like previous times, I awoke to a funny feeling in my chest, checked my pulse and realized it was irregular.  This means I got to take a trip to the ER and get cardioverted again. This was the fourth episode of atrial fibrillation I have had.  Ironically, after the first episode is when I decided I needed to lose weight and start running.  This meant that I had to take a day or two off from running, effectively stopping my running streak.  I will restart my streak tomorrow.

We're going streakin' !!!

I know what you're thinking, they gave up on blogging, or died or something like that.  But as it turns out, we have just been lazy, as far as blogging. We have still been running, we just haven't shared with you. Well, I have a renewed vigor to keep you up to date.

I'm sure you're wondering about the post title.  Recently, runners world announced a challenge for the holiday season to keep runners running throughout the holidays.  They call it the holiday running streak and are challenging runners to run at least one mile every day between Thanksgiving (November 22) and New Years day.  I thought this challenge sounded great! I not only have to continue training for the disney marathon, but I also like the idea of running daily.  The only reason I haven't run daily before, is that I am usually under the impression that I must run at least 5 miles per day.  So, I am challenging myself to this. 

I have been running daily for the past 5 days.  I know the challenge doesn't start until thanksgiving, but I am going to try to start early and take it through later. So far, so good. I'm a little perplexed by the 1 mile runs, but we'll see how those go.
