I completed 20 years of running today.

Other than illness and recovery from minor surgeries, I have run every week, anywhere from 4-7 days, since November 29, 1987. My weight has dropped from 236+ to 215 lbs., and I no longer have high blood pressure. My training and racing times are starting to go south, however. I guess the next 20 years probably will be a little harder.

Nice. Long term commitment is one of the greatest things a person can get out of this sport.

So, tell us about some high points, low points, people who have influenced you , stuff you're particularly proud of, sutff you might have done differently. etc

Congratulations on your 20 years.... quite impressive streak!

I've been going for 25 years but I took a few years off because of injury. I found it's best not to remember my past race times .... instead, I like to look at my AG placing and Age Graded times.

Congratulations! I've only been running since July '02. I can't wait to get to 20 years. Runners like you are an inspiration for guys like me.
