Too bad for me you worded it as such. I think I've actually run around the world at least once, maybe twice in my lifetime.
Big Wiggles and Giggles.
The longest distance I have ever run in one interlude is probably around 10 miles. Sometimes I would just run. No. Not like Forest Gump but a little. There were "those days," as a teen that I would just start running. It's funny now that I think about it. I guess when I got frustrated with my parents and wanted to "run away from home," I did. ;) :) Those times it may have been further but I knew I WOULD jog Back Home and never put myself out so far I would have to stop and call. I didn't carry even a dime when I ran and I didn't want to degrade myself by having to walk because I was too tired. So, I think I tried to keep my distance running "away" to around 5 miles... knowing I would have to "run" back. The same system I use for swimming. Never swim so far out, you can't make it back. It's even harder then because when you are tired while swimming just toning it down to a walk isn't an option. You HAVE to swim back. ;) :)!!

I've never run in an event. I used to run daily though. I always ran at least two miles. I enjoyed it. When my knees started bothering me too much for running I walked at least three miles. Eventually I couldn't keep up with that so I just did what I could from home which was pretty extensive exercising and swimming. At some point at the kids came and I was working and going to school it became a "when I have time" activity. I didn't have time to turn around in those days.
