I know most of you aren't into running but I did something yesterday I'm kind of proud of. Yesterday marked the 22 yr anniversary of my running streak (I've ran at least a mile every day). I celebrated by running 21 miles earlier in the day and then having friends over to run the 22nd mile with me, and then relaxing the night away around the firepit. Lots of drinking, food, shooting, and fun.

22 miles is very impressive! Congrats!!! That's quite the accomplishment.
I run a couple times a week because I dislike being fat more than I dislike running... 6 miles is a long run for me.

I couldn't run 22 miles if you paid me $22 million. Congrats

The Barracuda has run many marathons over the years, lots of training to do it.
Now she is having knee and feet problems.
Me however, couldn't run out of the house if it was on fire. But I got no leg problems! LOL!

Way to go, but when you can't walk when your 60 was it really worth it? LOL, I'm kidding.....

Very commendable. I hate to admit it. I dont think I have walked 22 miles in 22 years.  |

Thanks guys! Running has brought a lot of good things to my life... mostly the luxury of having as much beer and ice cream as I want and not get fat.
Good job coop and barracuda for getting out on the roads.
Common misconception that running causes bad knees. Almost every study done shows runners have stronger joints and less problems than nonrunners (just like lifting wts produces bigger and stronger muscles, the body adapts to stress and meets needs). The fact is that a certain percent of the population is going to have problems weather they run or not. If a person has knee problems and is a runner it's easy to point at running as the cause. If a nonrunner has a knee problem it's just bad luck.

Congrats to you. But running just isn't my thing. Even less now after a knee replacement.

Congrats! That is very impressive. Your lungs must stretch from your ass to the top of your head. Just curious what is your heart rate at rest? like 50-55?

That is awesome. There was a point where I was running/jogging about 5 miles a day in college. That was a long time ago and no way I could do a mile now. A brisk walk....maybe!
