------------------------------
Today I hit exactly 100,000 miles run in my 39th year of running. I began running on January 1st, 1980, when I was 19 years old while in the Air Force (1978-1982) stationed in Arkansas. I did not keep a log that first year of running but have kept a hard copy log every year since. I estimate I ran about 1,000 miles in 1980, but I do not count it in my lifetime total since it was not logged. I ran a lot of 10K's in the early 80's and a few 5K's with PR's of 34:47 and 16:52. I have run 17 official marathons with my first in January, 1984, at age 23....a 3:03:03. My most recent marathon was in 2011 at age 51....a 3:35. I ran 8 sub-3-hour marathons from age 33 to 39 and also a 3:01 and a 3:02 during that period. I tend to be a streak runner.
