Well Marcus, Im not going to try to one-up you since I cant. This is really awesome! 1,000 miles and it was only the end of April. Do you have a year-end goal? Your two-a-days are incredible! Good job, man.

Thanks! No total mileage goal. I am not the type to run and track miles just for the sake of accumulating them. Immediate goal: rehab my right knee (thus the crap week I just had and next week will be on the light side too). But a break sometimes is a good thing.

R u serious? It's Dr. Dre...from NWA...also the best damn hip hop producer in history, IMHO anyway. I don't like modern hip hop, but Dre's album The Chronic still gets play in my car weekly and it was released in 1992.

Dre brought up Snoop and Eminem just to name a couple. Your rhymes sound like you bought 'em at Stop n' Go, Dre came to wax ya so call me Mop n' Glo--Not off the Chronic

What would you call it? Super-swamp? Black Lagoon? I know if I tried to run 3K I would FEEL like the creature from the black lagoon and probably look like it too. 3000 miles of port-a-potty reservoirs.

We are the same age Marcus but seriously, I never have liked hip-hop-not even in 1992. I know that makes me a total nerd. I actually listen to Prairie Home Companion on NPR. Blush

, I have this theory that your musical tastes are altered in childhood. My sister is ten years older than me so I listened to all her stuff.

I listen to NPR at times too. I really only like old school hip hop. The stuff today is what I call Pop Hop. There are too many artists and the talent pool isn't very deep. No one could rap like Chuck D. No one could spin like Jam Master J, and no one produces like Dre. I really like some of Eminem's stuff, but probably because Dre did the music. Eminem can flow with the best of them though. I grew up in the inner city (not the projects or anything) so a lot of early urban-type music hit home. Back in the day you could always hear Sugarhill Gang and Grandmaster Flash blasting from houses on my street. For me, that's where early rap started. Songs like Rapper's Delight and The Message are classics and early examples of sampling. And I like Styx too. Paradise Theatre was a great album. I am also ashamed to admit I have some Bee Gee's on my iPod as well.

Amazing datapoint. Man, I've gotta get faster - looking at your log, you've run a bit over 7 hrs a week, every week this year. 7 hrs only nets me about 40 mi Blush

The faster you run, the less amount of time you spend running. Big grin

You'll get there. Keep at it.

Just because running is simple does not mean it is easy.
