I vote for Nick too.
I'd have to run more than 55,000 miles next year to catch up.

Oh, and I think you need a more significant title than President. How about Grand Pubah for Life?

I started running in June of 1979, so I still have a year and a half to go, unless I can count the three years of track and cross country from high school in the 1960's.

Running since I was 12-almost 32 years ago<br /><br />Ran track and cross-country including nationals in cross-country all through junior high school and high school. Coach produced lots of state and regional champions back then and I hung on for the ride.<br /><br />Continued the running in college-Division III, but competitive at the regional and national levels and most of all had great fun and made lifetime friends.

Still running with a break of a few months when my son was born in 1994 and then 6 months off for major surgery and radiation in 2002. It's been an almost constant ride and I hope to keep going as long as I can. I still jump into races and try to run decent times, but the real focus is fitness, social therapy and the chance to just be out there doing something I love.

I have no idea how many miles I have logged. I have run 27 marathons since 1986 and many years I get up around 2,500 miles.

Fun thread----haven't really thought about all the years together like this!

I started running in 1968 and have been at it ever since, so I'll be coming up on 40 years in 2008. Can't believe it!

I have no idea how many miles I've run, but I've run or been involved on the organization side in over 1000 races.

......good thread//.....
..I'm 57, been running for 38-years (since age 19)

......one time I figured I did 6,000-miles in my first decade,,,back then it seemed like a lot,,,,
..... I now try to run a Week (168-hours) a year........total, not all at once....
or I'd be REALLY tired......

.......I raced for a decade,
but tore out ankle ligaments,
and noticed all my buddies were quitting due to injuries....
.......so I've been a Fitness Runner since 1985.........pretty much all I want from my running.....

the main thing in long-term running is to know what you Want to Get from your Running...
.........and this group seems to know what they want....

........nice post President Nick////
