I was recently reading about streak running. No, not this kind...more like this kind. Mark Covert is the current leader, having run every day since July 23rd, 1968. That man has been running every day since almost 11 years before the beginning of my existence. This ESPN article is mainly about a guy named Kraft, but it also mentions Covert in a paragraph. Not only has he been running every day for more than 14,000 days, he's also been averaging 9.7 miles a day while he's at it. Unbelievable. He also finished 7th behind Frank Shorter in the 1972 Olympic Trials Marathon...a rather special year.
I'm not worthy. I've been running every day since Dec 11, 2007.
Run:
~25 deg and a little windy on the lakefront
10.7 miles 1:16:00 (7:07)
almost all on grass
The lake was completely calm as the wind was out of the West. It was almost eerie. Not Erie though. God that sucked.
