No, I’m not changing my blog settings to NC17. But I do want to talk about streaking.
Fitness streaking, that is.
It is popular among my people to have a run streak from Thanksgiving to New Years–pledging to run a certain mileage every day, from holiday to holiday, no exceptions.
I’ve never managed a holiday run streak–I usually fall off the proverbial treadmill mid-December when the pace gets a little too crazy or the weather gets a little too chilly. However, since I’m really trying to finish the year on a strong fitness note, I decided to commit to a fitness streak this holiday season.
After tossing around a few ideas, I’ve decided to have a “1 mile or 30 minutes” streak this holiday season. In addition to my usual workout schedule, I want to make sure I get in 1 mile or half an hour of extra activity. If I do it, I’m giving myself a prize: a new raw threads T-shirt that I’ve had my eye on for awhile.
Are you going streaking this holiday season? Do you reward yourself with things when you hit a fitness goal?

So I don’t do a run streak but I do a fitness streak and try to aim not to miss a day from Thanksgiving to New years

I’ve done “5k a day” streaks a few times but the last time I tried, I failed miserably haha I kinda like the whole 30 minute rule (which for me, as slow as I am is just shy of a 5k) so I might be able to pull that off!

I’m with you–30 minutes isn’t enough time for a 5K for me, either.

I don’t do run streaks but I do fitness ones. I’m good on these only the 2 days after Thanksgiving hang me up with being up at my parents with a a couple other friends and their families, so this year I’m doubling up next week 2 days and will get in Sunday when I get home. We are active and will often hiking those two days but it always depends on the weather and I don’t count those with workouts.

I have a such a hard time with streaks and challenges because my group fitness teaching schedule gets in the way! I was just invited to join a pushup challenge, though. So we’ll see.

I am undecided about a streak, but I do think it could be a fun goal to aim for this year even with all the traveling and crazy scheduling I have going on!
Looks like you have a great reward for your streak goal!
