back in WI
i’m enjoying day #3 of no running. i’ll get back on the wagon on tuesday.
i came across an article about a fellow who’s aiming to roll his running odometer to 150,000 miles by the end of the year. Ron Hill was the Boston Marathon champ in 1970 [2:10:30]. Some quotes from the article…
"Ron Hill began a running logbook in September 1956. Since then he has covered 149,553 miles,"
"He has run the equivalent of six times round the world in an incredible journey that has included 115 marathons."
"Hill has not missed a day’s run since December 20, 1964."
"His big target is to run competitively in 100 different countries by the time he is 70."
Read more about him in the article Caught in Time.
I don’t know that I’ll hit 6 digits on my running odometer but it’s amazing to read about someone who has.
