What's that saying about a journey of a 1000 miles? Smile

I managed my first 50 mile week. By doing so, I also hit 1000 miles for my "career". It was 11 months in the doing, but they're in the bag and it feels pretty damn good.

RA (THANK YOU ERIC!) and all of the people on these boards have been a huge inspiration for me, and continue to motivate me to get my big arse out the door. So if you're reading this, I'm looking at you, beer in hand and I'm saying "thanks".

Run hard.

Q
Run like hell.

A 50-miler after only 11 months...wow! I don't think I will see 50 miles until maybe 2.5 years after I started, if that early! Go Mike!

I've been at it a couple of years now, and I've never been close to a 50 mile week. Come to think of it, I Probably never will.

Very impressive, keep up the great work Mike.
