How far do you think you could jog?

I know I can do 5-6 relatively easily. If I pushed myself ... maybe I could add on an extra two and feel like death? Don't know for sure. Maybe I'll find out when the weather gets nicer.

 

Having done 5 miles yesterday and 5 today in the fourth week of spring training, I know I could go at least 8 miles at a jog before my Achilles would start to bitch. Then it's kick the dogs up and beer time.

At this point in my life, I could never do a marathon, just because biomechanically something -- most likely my bad old ankle -- would give well before the finish. There's a standing offer to anyone who hears me suggest that I might try one to just go Jeff Gillooly on my kneecap.

 

Last time I even tried to jog was about five years ago.

We were having one of those corporate challenge series and were going to play flag football.

I got to the field early and thought I would warm up by taking a lap around the track.

Halfway around, I was on my hands and knees trying to find my lungs.

HALFWAY around the freakin' track.

 

Depends on whether my assailant is chasing me with a knife or a gun.

 

Damn, you're jogging away from either one of those? You must have the stride length of Usain Bolt.

 

The most I ever do is about four.

For a different challenge, throw on a backpack. Jog for a minute, walk three. Repeat.

 

I could probably go 10 at a nice, steady pace, but I'm never that patient.

 

i have world-class marathon speed in the 400

 

I don't remember which Bill Murray movie this is from:

"Do you run?"

"Only when chased."

 

My longest run at one time is 16 miles. Most miles in a day is 20. Most in a week in the 80s. Right now I could go about 3-5 miles before falling over and dying.

 

I'm a runner, and generally do 20-25 a week with a long run currently at 11 miles. I could probably go up to about 15 if I pushed myself.

 

To my car. I'll drive the rest of the way, thank you.
