Staley's run streak has officially come to an end. Staley started her run streak on April 1, 2023 to get ready for her first season of middle school cross country. She ran every single day for at least a mile to keep her streak alive. She ran on vacations. She ran at camp. She ran early in the morning. She ran late at night. She ran on treadmills or on stairs or in hallways when it was just too cold, icy, snowy, or late to run outside. Her discipline was astounding as she made getting her run in a priority each and every day, whether she felt like it or not.
Heading into high school cross country, Staley started talking about breaking her streak so that she could have actual rest days. She no longer needed her streak to motivate her to run. She was getting a little tired of the inconvenience of making sure she got in her run every day and never having a day off. So when her surgeon told her she couldn't run for 48-72 hours after her oral surgery, she felt like it was a good time to break her streak.
Staley's streak ended after 2 years, 2 months, and 4 days of consistent and dedicated running.
