Running notebook: 85-year-old hits 50,000-mile mark

Paul Merriman's seven grown children have arrived from as far away as Vermont to celebrate their 85-year-old father's having run 50,000 miles. A whimsical cake decorated with a runner in a red shirt, sweat band and socks sits on a table, surrounded by individual Rice Krispies treats shaped to spell out "Paul's 50,000." [...] right now the proud former Marine has turned away from the festivities to encourage a group of Marine ROTC cadets jogging on the new Outer Loop Trail. "Semper fi!" he yells, waving a fist and repeating the Marine Corps motto as each one goes by. He and I, he said, were "runners for life," and as we walked a loop of the Seymour Lieberman trail, he explained how exercise was the good habit he had used to replace some bad ones, including smoking, drinking and working too much. At the party, surrounded by his children and some of their children, Merriman says he's a happy man.
