If you dont know what to say, say nothing.
Corollary: Silence is golden.
Modification: Don't way something that you wouldn't normally say or wouldnt want someone to remember that you said.

The whole 10 miles (of 26.2 actually)!!
Well people, this weekend I ran the Chicago Marathon, well partially atleast,the last 10 miles of 26.2 .It was an experience of a lifetime. Mindblowing crowd- 40,000 people ran and a million spectators, there were bands playing every mile or so and the route went around all the parts of chicago- downtown, latina quarter, italian quarter, each quarter there were people playing the local music. There were people dressed as hens, superman- you name it. I was 'pacing' one of the other runners who was really tired. So, I wasnt really going too fast, took about 2 hours to do it. The winner did 26.2 miles in 2 hours 6 mintues.
How did all this come to be? Well, there is a charity here called Asha. Volunteers from Asha run marathons every year to raise money. This year, I volunteered to help them out with cheering and water. I ended up pacing one of other runners. In hindsight, I should have run the full distance, had no idea that
1) I could actually run 10 miles
2)Running for 2+ hours can actually be so much fun

Random Notes
I dont fell great today- too much work, too many deadlines, and a couple of other things dont really that make me feel too happy.
Shark Tale-Amazing movie. A must see. Features the voices of Will Smith, Robert de Niro, Martin Scorcese, Angelina Jolie etc. etc. Great fun.
Relationship Ramblings - Why do people act the way they do? Sometimes people do things that seem to have no apparant connection or correlation with anything you can put a finger on. Even they dont realize the consequences- everyone loses including themselves. Why? Are people intinsically somewhat unstable? How do you deal with it?
Perfumes- I bought a new perfume- Aqua di Gio. Amazing. Recommend all who want to buy a perfume to but it.
I have a round of deadlines coming next week! Need to get them finished!
