It would've been funny if I hadn't stood in line for 20 minutes myself. I have never seen longer queues to use port-a-potties ever. And not all of it came from people getting nervous they wouldn't be able to pee before they started running. The atmosphere was electric.there was just so much energy in the air. If I'd planned my PhD this carefully, I'd be graduated by now! I used Google Calender to plan my entire training schedule based on my book and several running websites. A little digression into how carefully organized I was. So after 6 months of carefully organized training, I was in SFO and ready to run. I wanted to be at least a little (very very leetle) cool.

When I was 7 years old, a driver who worked for us informed my Mom that the only way to get me to run was to let a dog loose on me! Thats a pathetic little story, but like so many pathetic tales, its also true. I guess when I was younger the arrogance of youth precluded any thought of my own mortality!

The realization that health is really important only struck me at the ripe old age of 29. And actually enjoy the running experience.
