Where can we proclaim our epic achievements? Right here, that's where :-). Simple rule: Only half marathons count. You ran a marathon? Great. Doesn't count. To elaborate: A recognised half marathon race - you start, cover the distance, finish. Hopefully there's a nice or such. Walked a bit? Who cares? I'm on 29 just now. I was initially quite surprised to even find myself on 1. At the current rate, I would gain membership in about 2022. Anyone else going for it? Who's already there?
