The fact that it doesn't count toward "endurance" miles does not take anything
away from the experience--that is why there IS a limited distance program, and
a separate program for career miles on LD's.  

To take someone else's illustration one step further--if one runs half-
marathons, one is no less a runner, but one is NOT a MARATHON runner.
