Newbies: Some things I have learned about running over the last 31 yrs and 65,000 miles (Read 1493 times)

Thanks LRN! Those are excellent! Put a smile on my face! And I can't believe you've gone 65,000 miles in 31 years. Wow. The #1 reason I love this site is for the inspiration. Keep it comin'!

Truth be told, it will be 32 years running and logging on 4/22/08--currently 65,400+. I try not to get too anal and remember the exact total daily. My therapist says that is kinda a healthy sign. Have fun and enjoy the journey. Nick

You'd better change your subject line then! About 9,300 more miles or so and I think you'll have enough to go around the earth about 3 x!

Good point. Actually I have run around the world 2x at the Equator (24,xxx miles x 2) and have run from the South Pole to the North Pole (12,xxx miles)--all uphill mind you. I have headed South towards the South Pole which has been a breeze so far--all downhill. Believe me when I say I am very greatful that I have been allowed my journey. Keep smiling--keep running. Nick

Oh, and 65,000 miles in 31 years is only a 250 minute mile pace. Big effin deal, I can run faster than that.

Good one. You are into numbers I see. Want to do my taxes? Nick

Thanks, excellent advice and I would add something that I learned. If you see a small dog barking, Smile, if you see a big dog barking, walking, if you see 5 big dogs barking,runs more and more faster . .

I'm heading out the door to a race this morning. Thanks for relieving some of my anxiety!

The following is not an all inclusive list --but a few things may help you out and have you become life-time runners: If you see someone smoking as you run by--ask them for a cigarette. Nick

That's my new signature
