THE STREAK IS OVER

I’m done streaking.
My heel is not happy so I’m taking today and tomorrow off from running to see if it gets better. Thank you tennis ball for all the rolling action, which seems to be helping. The RWRunStreak was fun and I wanted to keep doing it as long as I could but didn’t want to get hurt over it. SO it’s been fun, but I’ll be saying goodbye after 19 days. It taught me that sometimes you just need a mile workout… and that it still counts as doing something!
In the meantime, you HAVE to watch this YouTube video. It is hilarious…

I mean, if this is real, how do you even train a hamster to do that?!
Are you still streaking with the RWRunStreak? Have you ever had plantar fasciitis symptoms? What did you do to make them go away?

Aww sorry you had to end the run streak. Even after running post-wisdom teeth removal!! You're a champ regardless. My heel has been giving me problems lately too-everything points to plantar facitis, yikes! I swear it's from walking in the city on concrete in flats so much. And running in them to catch my train, haha. It's been better though so hopefully yours improves quickly too!
Thanks!! Yeah I think concrete has something to do with it! I love rolling the tennis ball though (even if it hurts haha).
I did the streak for just 5 days because I stopped when I was sick. You did good!!! haha and I love the little hamster
Thanks!! Yeah definitely not worth getting sicker over it!
There will always be other days to run…
Yikes! good luck with plantar fascitiis! A coworker of mine has it, and even after taking time off from running, the thickness of the fascia has increased. I hope your heel heals quickly and you don't have any of the same problems!!!!
Oh no!! That sounds awful…
I've become BFFs with our tennis ball 
Don't feel bad about the streak. I had to end mine after 11 days.
Oh no…plantar fascitis is awful! Get better quickly!
Thanks!!
I'm sorry to hear about your heel. Plantar fasciitis is such a bummer.
Way to make it to the half way point! The run streak is definitely no joke!
I'm still streaking strong, but to be fair, I'm only running a mile most days of the week. I feel like it's cheating, as I keep seeing so many people who are running 3-5 miles a day. :-/
Yeah I know what you mean! It is actually tougher than I thought it would be…
That is SO not cheating — you are still streaking and that is AMAZING!
Great job making it this far in the streak and I hope the plantar fasciitis gets better! I'm still streaking strong, so we'll see if I make it to the 4th of July!
Thank you!! And congrats to you for keeping the streak alive, I hope it keeps going!!
I am sorry you had to stop streaking! You are the fourth person that I know that has to had to stop. I am glad that you listened to your body. There will always be another opportunity.
Really? That is true!! It definitely won't be the last RWRunStreak.
Sorry you had to stop streaking, but better than an injury for sure. I've also heard a frozen golf ball works well….
Thanks for the tip!!
I'm sorry to hear the streak had to end but I think you did the smart thing by listening to your body! Definitely not worth getting injured over! Good luck feeling better
That's true!! Thank you!
Oh no! I hope the rest helped the heal and that you'll be back out there soon!
Thanks!! It seems to be better. Hopefully for good!!
