The following is a note from Pete Rettler:

For all of my friends who suggested today would be a good day to end the streak or asked that I consider doing my run on a treadmill today. I just completed a 1.75 mile run, I would have went further but told Kelly Rettler to come search for me if I wasn’t back in 15 minutes.

It was not as cold as a Wisconsin Dells run about 5 years ago, wind was not bad at all. The streak is still alive, 25 years, plus 30 days.
