Gary, You are really hung up on being a rodent. That’s ok, I liken a pace team in the middle of a marathon course to a pack of runners being devoured by a snake; after all, isn’t that what it feels like after mile 20? Your 40 min on the treadmill is a solid effort. I am totally used to it thanks to books-on-tape; run and get smarter at the same time! "Read" any book by Jon Krakauer, the renowned contributor to Outside Magazine. For something more literary, read any book by James A. Michener, I just finished "The Drifters" - outstanding. And for something extremely outrageous, read "The World According to Garp" by John Irving (forget the movie, no where near as good). Post a reply on the Bulletin Board
