in
24 years. Of course all that also means that after about 3 beers I'm
toast.

Yea.... I used to run... Then I discovered that it was difficult!! :-)

(OT silly 1976 stuff below)

Distance runner in High School - because I wasn't fast enough to be a
sprinter ...so I *must* have endurance. For me The Mile was a 4:58 SPRINT!!
(Yup, under 5 minutes - twice in my life)

Oh to be 16, with wings on my feet again. BTW, those wings were the same
shoes Forrest Gump was running in. Nike white, with red and blue heels
(1976).

Coach: ...Hit the road, we're doing a fast 8 miles today!
Me: .........Huh?
Coach: ...We should be done in just under an hour.
Me:..........Huh?

I could do multiple 7-minute miles (or 7:30-miles) in practice, but for the
life of me I could not get under 5 minutes in a race. At my 16-year-old
best, I could do sub 6-minute miles on a 5 mile dash (28-29-30 minutes), but
still the 4:30 Mile eluded me. That drove my coach nuts!

State Mile Record was 4:08 in Minnesota at the time, so I was only a scant
50 seconds off that mark, which is about ...oh, one lap!! g

I shunned all marathon talk because I was a sprinter at heart - albeit a
very, very slow sprinter.

It'd be sad if Armstrong, a de facto ambassador for science, had said
something so baseless. Is there any evidence that he actually did?

Google Neil Armstrong quotes first hit first quote

It's Google, I know. If it was in a Quote Book at the library would that be
a better proof/evidence? Hmm, probably. :-)

Google Neil Armstrong quotes first hit first quote

Yup, like any chain-letter, it's all over the web. But none of the sites
cite any evidence, as far as I've noticed. In effect, lots of people are all
pointing to one another and saying "I believe it because *you* do". :-)

If it was in a Quote Book at the library would that be a better
proof/evidence?

Nope, not unless the book cites a credible original source.

I have a feeling that whoever did say it was saying it in jest, and in
jest it would not be sad if Armstrong said it.

I just can't resist a challenge. The first 3 pages of Google hits do
seem to back up Armstrong as a source, unlike an awful lot of wit
wrongly attributed to George Carlin, Erma Bombeck and Andy Rooney - most
of those erroneous.

There are tons of sites that attribute the quote to him, but I didn't notice
any sites that said anything about what makes them think he said it. Did you
find that information anywhere?

Thanks,
