Gary Corbitt reports on his father, Ted


At the reception I raised the question about whether my father had run more
total miles than anyone. If he hadn't gotten hit with the asthma I could
confidently say yes. Prior to the asthma he was making plans to run across
the country in something like 42 days @ 70+ miles per day. His record month
was August 1966 at 862 miles. He three times ran 300+ mile weeks. He also
had a 13 year streak of running twice a day. I have his training logs going
back to the late 40's and perhaps later this year I can do a total. I'll
keep you posted as we continue to review his papers. Actual I'll check his
logs this week as I believe he kept yearly total.
