Arnold Notable, or "notable for me"? I don't keep track of distance covered, even though I could probably do it easily, especially if I used my toes to help count. I suspect a good year might be somewhere in the 1-200 statute mile range. (I tend to measure distances either with a GPS that shows miles or kilometres, or by using a map or a tool like Google Earth, which also uses land-based measurements.) I think 1000 NM _is_ a notable achievement.
