The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

[LearningPatience]

jb, thanks! Then again, I can't see me riding bikes anywhere near as much as you, and we don't have Skyline Chili here anymore (boo), so I guess it evens out.

Harrier, only two questions at this moment are 1) is it twice as hard as a half-marathon (which wasn't *that* bad) and 2) isn't it stupid of us to run 26.2 miles without either a cop or a bear (or a cop riding a bear) chasing us?

As far as the LBS diet has been mentioned today, I have to warn people that it can backfire. Or maybe it's just me. I went from thin and having a small belly to the point they don't carry my size most places locally (*cough*29"*cough*). Kinda embarrassing to have to shop in the boys section.
