Thanks for the support, it's been years since I started running, it's pretty much an ingrained part of me now. But no medals for me, I do have lots of T-Shirts from local Charity Events and I ran the Peachtree Road Race a few times, but I'm not really a distance runner. I run 4-6 days a week for about an hour or so on wooded trails. I think the trail is around 3 miles, I run it once and then loop back and run hills- so yeah. It's not the same as street running. I don't know how to measure it against your whopping 30 miles a week! You must be in amazing shape.
