English term or phrase: the running and the almost dying
Pritkin had mentioned one that he had lived in Victoian England, which made him a hell of lot older than his thirty something appearance, but what with the fighting and the running and the almost dying, I'd never gotten around to asking him about.

Mi propuesta:
Pritkin había mencionado una vez que había vivido en la Inglaterra victoriana, lo que le hacía muchísimo más mayor que su apariencia de treinta y tantos, pero nunca le había preguntado nada acerca de la lucha y el escaparse y el casi morir.
