It’s 15 years today since I last had a day off from running. The last day I didn’t have a run was back on August 25, 2004. Since that time I’ve averaged 17.2 km per day, although that average was boosted by running around the world. So, that’s 5,478 consecutive days of running, totalling 94,177 km.

And, when I reached 8 years without a day off, I was running in the state of Mississippi, reaching Alabama the next day. Below are some photos from that time, including one of me wearing a T-shirt Carmel constructed to commemorate the occasion.
