This man has run eight miles everyday for nearly 40 years

 

• 

   

  Robert Kraft, better known as the Raven, has run through hurricanes and hailstorms, sickness and injuries.

   

  Robert Kraft never travels.  The 63-year old Miami Beach resident has never once flown or had a driver's license.  In fact, he has not left Florida in more than 40 years.

   

  It was Wednesday, May 7, the 14,371^st day --running an average of eight miles every day for nearly 40 years-- of what is now one of the longest streaks in running history.  He’s clocked a lot of miles. Minutes into Wednesday’s run, Kraft noted his location, lifted his arms in the air and announced: "One hundred and fifteen thousand!" 
  
  What started out as a New Year’s resolution back in 1975 has now become a milestone for Miami’s famed “Raven” runner:  The 115,000 mile club

Incredible dedication.

Incredible waste of a life.

Long distance runners don't possess the ability to be happy.
