All that and a bag of Pirate Booty?


I came across this site yesterday. It has running. It has pirates. It has a Steve Prefontaine legacy. What more could a girl ask for? Did I mention pirates and a quasi-excuse to track your mileage?

Apparently Nike's revisiting of the original Pirate's 2,000 mile club shirt was the inspiration for this little online collective. I have to say, I tend to agree with the founder's premise that it seems a little hokey that anyone could buy and wear one of these shirts without actually putting in the miles.

Why?

Because everybody knows that putting in the miles and the redistribution of maritime wealth is what is really important ... well, that, and maybe beer.
