running when sick

For a while earlier this year, I had a streak of about 100 days consecutive running going. That started me doing some silly things, like running when I probably shouldn't have, when sick or injured. Does anybody else find that the urge to avoid a goose egg in their training log leads them to go run against their better judgement? I can remember I once ran two miles on a terribly painful hip, just because I didn't want to fall short of my goal mileage for the week.
