Another recently published running book is about "The Raven" a streak runner running 8 miles everyday for over 42 years. 125,000 miles; 5x around the earth; to the moon and back.

I'm lucky enough to live in Miami and run with him sometimes. When he started the streak he went barefoot and later began wearing shoes, if you can call them that, his favorite are NB with about 2,500 miles on them that seem to have more hole(s) than material left.

If you can, do a run with the Raven and get a nickname, if not please get his book:

Moon is ~239,000 miles away.

125,000 is about halfway.

> 8 miles everyday for over 42 years. 125,000 miles; 5x around the earth; to the moon and back.

Huh?
