OK, OK, OK....

The people have spoken.

I asked only because I spent the morning semi-trotting up the canal while listening to some Hal Higdon and RW magazine (US) podcasts about running a marathon and I thought: "these aren't very entertaining or enlightening. I could do better......" And it sort of dovetailed into a thought I had last night when I re-read my Zurich race report and imagined reading it out loud and adding some other observations here and there.

Incidentally, the only two things of note from the 45 minutes or so of spoken word I plodded through today were... Hal mentioning that when some chap called Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks, the reply came: "Because that's where all the money is".

(Interesting chap: http://www.fbi.gov/libref/historic/famca...sutton.htm )

The only fragment of insight I found from the RW podcast was when an RW hack noted that talking to someone during a marathon was like staying up all night getting drunk with them. They tell you stuff you might not ordinarily hear.
