September 2003 - January 2008
In the year 2007, the average American spent 1,555 hours watching television. In days its 64.8, now thats a lot of t.v. watching.
As for me I don't own a television, and I am always asked how I have time to run as much as I do. My answer is no T.V.
I started running in September 2003, In a span of 4 years and 4 months I ran:
7 - 5k races (mostly race for the cure, 3.1 miles)
3 - 10k races (6.2 miles)
9 - 13.1 miles (Half Marathons)
3 - 26.2 miles (Marathon)
2 - 50 mile races (one DNF at mile 33, other finished in 11 hours)
1 - 187 mile relay (Ten person team, ran 20-25 miles)
Its hard to pinpoint exactly how many miles I ran altogether including training for each race. The best I can calculate is somewhere in the range of 2,800 - 3,600 miles.
I usually average a pace of 10 minute miles in races, and I usually train at around a 12 min mile pace. so we are looking at a total range of about 22 - 30 days of running. Something tells me I have ran more...

Italian as a fourth language
I watched a short documentary titled "The Boy With The Incredible Brain"
This is the breathtaking story of Daniel Tammet. A twenty-something with extraordinary mental abilities, Daniel is one of the world?s few savants. He can do calculations to 100 decimal places in his head, and learn a language in a week.
I figured if this guy can learn a new language in a week, I can learn one in four months as I train for a marathon. Why not use your time wisely and learn another language. You see it all the time people running with their Ipods and you never know what they are listening to. Thats why I have decided to learn Italian.
WATCH THE DOCUMENTARY (its less than an hour, and well worth watching)
