The streak has been broken

Readers, I apologize. I have some more bad news for you. My streak is over.

You see, back in college, the mister and I were fairly active people. Then we graduated and decided that sloth and Steak n' Shake were oh so much more fun than physical activity. That lasted for almost two years before yours truly decided to get herself back in shape. Then, about 18 months ago, I convinced the mister to start running 5k's and the like with yours truly. The streak was born, and I managed to beat the mister in four straight races.

Today he beat me in a duathlon (run-bike-run). My excuse is that my chain fell off my bike, causing me to lose some time. And I'd like to point out that when the mister passed me, he didn't even notice that I was struggling with the chain. But did he stop? No. It was a good thing I didn't have a flat tire, as he has the extra tube and pump on his bike.

Our next race is a half-marathon in October. I fully intend to begin a new streak as of that date.
