Tony passed 50,000 lifetime miles over the weekend. Wish his total would be about 25 miles higher as I would have loved to see him get the record at Leadville.
No idea how far I've gone since I started running back in 1989. If I had to guess, I would think I've averaged at least 2000 miles per year since then. That's less than 40 miles a week, so that number is probably higher, but I've never kept a log until recently. So maybe just over 40,000 miles?

I have thought about this too in light of his entry.
I started running when I was 8 - but there are no logs and I certainly was not doing 2000 mile years then.
If I go conservative and guess that I was doing an average of 1500 miles a year starting in 83 (freshman in HS) through 96 - that gives me 21k. I think I can then go 2k from 96 to 2000 for another 8 (29k), and then 2.5k per year for the last 8. Gives me 49k. But it could be way off.
