So just a few days ago I was shocked I ran double-digit miles for three consecutive days. As of today I have now done 6 such straight days. And I am now ending it there. I figured if I was going to break my personal best for that sort of run I might as hell make it a heck of a streak so I would not be tempted to break it again.
On top of that, I decided to run 15 miles yesterday and 14 miles today in order to end the year with 2112 miles. It’s a palindrome and I love that stuff!
So no run on New Year’s Eve. I could run an easy 6 tomorrow and run the most miles I have ever run in a month but am deciding against it. I have run, inadvertently, 12 straight days, which is something I am totally against. Of course, Christmas eve was only a 3 mile run and if I had not run that I would have done 5 days and then 6 which would be fine. Nevertheless, this is how I am keeping myself from running.
Which is how my year will end. With no run. One year ago I ended the year with 26.2 miles. This year I will do it with a long sleep and relaxation. And hopefully some very good news I can share with you all soon.

Hi Dane,
Thanks for your recent email!
Got a suggestion for you to boost your readership even more. What most of us bloggers do is digg our first post to enter it into Digg. Otherwise, people usually have to go through a long submittal process of writing about the entry, which they usually won't take the time to do. Someone on my JCrew blog suggested this tactic. He said that I should digg my own posts first so that "others know that my blog even exists." And you know, he was totally correct about this!
I know some people might think it's pompous to digg your own posts, but trust me, it's really not. It's just another means of promoting your blog. After all, it's not like you're really tooting your own horn; you're just putting your stuff out there & describing it. And there's nothing wrong about that!
Also, speaking of blog promotion, just thought you should know that I'm going to nominate your blog for a Blogger's Choice Award, http://bloggerschoiceawards.com, so be on the lookout for that award. Then you can post the badge on your website, as bragging rights & also as a way to encourage others to vote for you & read your blog!
This is my little belated X-mas present to you. ;-)
Happy New Year!
-Corey
