If you’ve been logging your miles, prepare to be put to shame. 34 years ago (in 1974), Robert “Raven” Kraft made the decision to run 8 miles a day, every day, until he hit 100,000. Krafts story sounds like the plot to a movie: His journey began in 1974 after a mission to find his father. Over time, he gathered a cult-like following – more than 700 people have run along with him on the beaches in LA. 100,000 miles… Wow. You can read the full story here.

Oh yeah, and there should be no feelings of shame here, I just thought it sounded cool as an opening sentence. I admire what this guy did, but I run for my own personal benefit and not normally to compete with others.
