Alive & Running
So last year I attempted to run my age on my birthday and fell short by 5 miles (only hit 33 miles). This year I was bound and determined to suck it up and run the entire 39 miles and thankfully I was able to do it yesterday. Sore and a little fatigued still but feeling pretty good.
Does anyone else here do the run your age on your birthday thing? Seemed like a good way to kick off the New Year. Also gave me carte blanch to down a 6 pack of Bell's Two Hearted Ale without feeling guilty.
MTA: You must run your physical age, not your maturity age. If that was an option I'd have been done at 12 miles.
Fuck no.
Runners run.
This but I'd be willing to try it by yards.

Too old. Don't care.

How about running my age in minutes?
MTA: Happy Birthday Don!
Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

Oh...that is a good idea. I briefly thought maybe km's but that would mean I am already up to a marathon which I try to avoid unless they have appropriate swag.
Maybe I'll try to commit to running my age in a week. That might work. for a few more years anyway

hmmmmm, you may be onto something here......

Of beer.
You suck. You should just quit. Jackass. Welcome back.
That is what I did. 41 minutes at tempo. It kind of felt like an accomplishment, sort of.
Good times never seemed so good.
Actually, you have to run an extra mile. To grow on.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Was it all a dream?

It should be noted that it was snowing and terribly effing cold around these parts yesterday. If the 39mi wasn't impressive, the fact you still have functional fingers after 5 hours of running in the single digits (no pun intended) certainly is.
To the original question, I lost the desire to run my age a couple years ago.
I'm in the business of misery...
I might run 52 kilometers next month.
Oh, wait a minute. No I won't.
42,500 Miles Later
Done it; still easy though. This year I am going to do it the day after my birthday to join it with a marathon. I have ran with friends in their 40's doing it, too.
At some point I must imagine it gets more and more impractical...
How do you keep your feet on the ground, when you know you were born to fly?

I ran double my age on last year's birthday (turned 48, ran 101).
Upcoming races: 5/18 Watershed Preserve 12-hour, 6/2 North Olympic Discovery Marathon, 6/15 Bighorn 50, 7/27 White River 50, 8/24 Cascade Crest <gulp>
