BRADFORD, Mass. -- Dave Dunham took the advice of his high school running coach in December 1978 to heart. In Dunham's freshman year, coach Mike Granfield told all his runners to keep a log of their miles.
Nearly 30 years later, Dunham, now 43, logged his 100,000th mile.
By the numbers through Nov. 11, 2007:
6,113 - miles raced
5,113 - most miles run in one year (1992)
513 - most miles run in one month (May '02)
175 - towns in Massachusetts run in
141 - course records set in 1,000 total races (including 66 wins at the 5K level as well as victories in the Clarence Demar Marathon (2:29), New Hampshire Marathon (2:43) and the Chancellors 100K in 6 hr, 46 min. Those 3 races were run in a 14-day span in 2000.
