Well Sunday was my birthday and I did some crazy stuff. I started the day off with a fast tempo8.5 miles then ran 8.5 again at noon. I followed that by 8 after dinner, and 8 more before bed. I maintained a good pace and overall good vibes. It was a good way to spend my birthday. I turned 33 and the miles added up to 33. Anyone else out therre do anything interesting like this before?

My friend Ian likes to run at least 1 mile per year on his birthday, although he usually does it all in one go.
That wouldn't be so bad (he's an ultramarathoner in training for his second 50 miler and his first 100 miler) except that his birthday is in January - and he lives in Maine. It can be hard to plan a 30 mile run around the weather up here at times. This year, he wound up doing it a week and a half late. |

I wonder if my dad will run 67 tomorrow? I'm thinkin' no. Specially since he has more metal in one of his knees than I do in my toolbox.  |

| Last month I did 26.2 on my 35th birthday. That was the longest distance I'd ever gone in one shot. Is that good enough? It was fairly warm and quite humid. And not once did I actually see Mickey Mouse. |

Last time I did this was at age 41... 41 miles. More impressive was a guy I met while we were running a 100K a few weeks later. IIRC he was within 2 weeks of his 65th birthday, and of course he was running a 62+ mile race. I think he got 1st place in the masters division.
I did my birthday run around a hs track that was 1/2 mile from home. That made it easy to go home for restroom breaks.
