Quote from Sockoni on 1/18/2008 at 2:17 AM: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.  |

I like #1 about not taking any of it or yourself too seriously. It can't be fun if it's *serious*!
Thanks, Nick!

Thanks for relieving some of my anxiety!  |

If you see someone smoking as you run by--ask them for a cigarette.

Quote from trishierunner on 1/17/2008 at 11:00 PM:Be greatful that you can walk/run.Something I always try to keep in mind
And something that is sorely upsetting me now as I nurse something wicked bad in Mr Knee 
But since I have always appreciated when I could run, and long for when I can again.
