My streak started when I went out on 1st January 2009 and wondered if I could manage the whole year. I never ran a step until I was 40 but did some races after that and a few marathons. Not particularly good or quick. I am a bloke.
Streaking builds its own momentum and that's one of the best and worst things. I know I wouldn't go out most days and hurdles like weather and feeling rough would be much bigger to overcome if I wasn't somehow letting the streak down by considering quitting. I have a minimum of 4 miles this year although it's varied during the last 6 years from 1 mile upwards. Good luck with it. (7.3 is a chunky start!)

Thank you for the warm welcome! Don't think I am ready to join the spreadsheet yet, we'll see how it goes...
Well today would normally be a rest day, but I have been out for a quick 15 min run in between down pours!
Tomorrow and Thursday are easy as I am racing tomorrow and (almost) always go out with a friend on a Thursday. The next 'test' will be Friday, as this is also normally a rest day. Now though, it is time to make tea!!

cackleberry, it's your choice if or when your name's added to the spreadsheet. Streaking can be tailored to each person's changing circumstances & needs - and, for me, there's the warm glow of satisfaction of ticking off another day, whether with one of 51 miles.

My knee made me stop the streak...it has to heal before the Berlin marathon, so I've been hitting the bike recently.
