Congratulations ANDY NOISE, and welcome to the ranks of genuine, bona fide runners! As everyone knows, a runner without a 1000 mile pin is only a sort of provisional, probationary runner. Other runners treat you kindly, because that is the custom, but they all are wondering when you will get your 1000 mile pin. Soon you will have your own 1000 mile pin, which will entitle you to all the rights and privileges that accrue to the holder of a 1000 mile pin. When you put that pin on, your whole life will improve. Provisional, probationary runners will defer to your opinions. You will get better seating in restaurants. Your family will treat you with greater respect.... It will not rain when you have a picnic! You will wonder how you ever got along without that pin. Just remember; treat those unfortunate souls who do not yet have their 1000 mile pin kindly. Because that is the custom. laz @andynoiseexperiencepodcast @pedestriannation @multidaynation @altrarunning @rei @smartwool @gozwift @strava @spotifypodcasts #gvrat1000k #gvrat2000k (at Bakersfield, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDoZ7FWHWxf/?igshid=1jlygd2p10p1y
