=====================
I started running in 1977 after dropping out of competitive swimming in college. Started recording mileage in December 1978 to earn a 100 mile “T” shirt and never stopped. Highlights:
# Most miles in a year 4,600
# Most miles in one day 52 (running a 50 miler and got lost)
# Consecutive running days (streak) minimum run 3- miles. 19 years 2 months + 14 years 10 months 2 weeks
# Marathon PR 2:32:12
# 10 Mile PR 53:47
# 5 K PR 15:32
# Silver medal in the 1984 Empire State Games marathon back when that was a thing
#Ran Pikes Peak ascent with a friend in 3 hours (amazing experience)
Following knee surgery in 2017, I am still running 20- 25 miles per week
Long reached 100,000 miles in 2007.
