Damn that's a lot of miles. Who knows? To give you an idea, that would be about 5.7 miles every day for 50 years. Of course it is possible, but I wonder how many people here will come close to 100,000 miles in their life. Of course, most people don't care to try or even keep track...

30plus years ago I read that Dern ran 6miles a day on average.
I wouldn't doubt him, he's been avid for a long time, pre running boom.
I'm over 50,000 and I'm barely 30 years old.
I ran with Bruce years ago and I can asure you he ran a lot. At the time we were both running for the Santa Monica Track Club. Bruce said one time while we were warming up. "Last night I told my wife I ran 30 200s and 20 200s, she said 'Why, it only makes your dick small." Great guy, a real character, a good athlete and a great actor.
Here is footage of a race between Dern and Roscoe Lee Browne.
People always talk about Browne being really fast but Dern runs him down this time.

Good for you, tough guy, why the hell would we care?
I remember years and years ago he was running.
I just heard him talking on an interview tonight and he said he once ran from Santa Monica to Denver, covering 40 miles a day for 4 months straight, 4800 miles. That'd be a rather roundabout route though, maybe he meant 40 days or 1600 miles. Either way, dude is obviously as serious a runner as anyone so I definitely believe his mileage total.
But before tossing out the big mileage stories to give the interviewer what she wanted, he initially answered her "how far do you run" question by saying he runs around 30 minutes a day, enough time for him to do intervals to stay in shape for his competitions at 800 and 1500 meters. So he's not just a mileage hound.

Whats with the attitude? Chill.
The thread is not about "consider this" or "awkward silence." Start your own threads about your personal accomplishments. Let's see who cares about you.
Props to Dern for sticking with running for more than 50 years.

Yes it is, idiot. The OP was wondering how many people were coming close to approaching this mileage. It was perfectly relevant for someone to point out that they were at 50,000 already by their thirties.
You guys are stupid.
But Rooster Cogburn, the one eyed fat man cat owner, kicked his a$$ in True Grit.

You don't say.
Yeah, and I'll say it again if I have to, until you get a clue and learn how to not foul up a good thread with stupid remarks.
The thread is not about you "Ghetto," or your 50,000 miles. Post again when you reach 100,000. You will never reach that level. Bye.
Heard part of a great interview with Dern on NPR tonight. Seems like a great dude.
Also, does running make your dick smaller?
By guesstimate and numerous running diaries I figure to be about 110-112,000 at age 61. And I can see where the guy telling us he's at 50,000 in his 30's is relevant. I was at a little over 72,000 at 40. Logs show my highest decade to be my 30's with a little over 36,000. Dern did a great running movie many years ago.

Why would it? Isn't small c0ck at least in part attributable to being fat and/or having poor circulation?
Also heard the interview. It was great. I'm looking forward to seeking his new film.
Read a piece about him recently. Was a good enough runner to attempt a shot at an Olympic team. Said he came in 9th place and did not make the team. It didn't say the event.
Also come from a big $ Chicago North Shore family. His grandfather (or great grandfather?) was a founder of Carson Pierre (sp?) Scott and owned 51% of the company. Took the low brow acting route instead of going w/ the family business.
