On another board, I claimed that next year I plan to run 1,000,000 miles. Something tells me I might fall short, but would it be hard/worthwhile/interesting-to-anybody-but-me to calculate the total miles logged by the RA community for 2007? It's gotta be close to a million.

I like this idea ... it could be a 'totaliser' on the home page that clocks up the total RA miles year-to-date. Big grin

But - we (RA members) may need to fund a new super-computer for Eric. Confused

Happy Holidays. Neil

Running ... just keep running!

Dude, I'm pretty sure that was a joke. Seeing as how it would be pretty much impossible for a person to even drive (on their own, no help) 1,000,000 miles in a year.

Yes, I do "run in this." So should you. The weather is never as bad as it seems from behind your office or car window.

I think you misunderstand, friend. She's talking about accumulated miles for the whole community.

I like that idea! I think that seeing a grand total for all of RA would be interesting. Smile

We're up to 1,955,176 miles (3,145,878 km) for the year. We'll definitely break the 2 million mark by year's end, unless everyone decides to fatten up for the holidays.

Awesome! Thanks, Eric.

Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

Man, I felt good to do 3+ yesterday! One foot a time though. I couldn't spell RUN 5 years ago, was 325 lbs and every 'number' was wrong when I went to the Dr. Today: 175, no meds, all numbers in line and I do about 20-25 miles a week. Life is good! Happy Holidays from the Smoky Mountains! Where's the snow? Doug

Doug - that's amazing. Great job. I think the 2,000,000 mile mark for the RA community is a great goal. Thanks for the stats Eric!
