Forty's dates are as good as any. I have to convince my various bosses
that both flying to Utah to run the St. George marathon on October 1st
*AND* spending several days fishing with ruffians are both mortal
necessities.

As far as being called a top-posting ****tard.... I'm using Google
Groups on a f^cking Macintosh, so it serves me right.

of course, that still leaves open the question of when *you* will be
there...

Steve,
When you get to St. George (don't know why anyone would want to go there
:-)), take your bamboo with you. There is no fishing in the Virgin River
(well, except for a few par-boiled white fish), but Kolob Resevoir is
awesome. There is also Quail Creek Resevoir, but I recommend Kolob. 22
miles up the road from Virgin, UT, you can easily be the only one on the
lake on any given weekday. 24 inch cuts suckin' at the bugs right along the
shore. Try the north side of the lake where the creek comes in. A float
tub is ideal if you can bring it with. Good way to relax after a big run.
Oh, by the way, bring your big crawdad patterns.

and possibly a heavy 9 weight. IIRC, fall is a good time to look
for stripers on the surface in Lake Powell.

Good luck with that marathon.

I wouldn't be anywhere *near* ready to slither around,
over and amongst Graham County boulders just a week
after having run a marathon. My knees would still be
ice-bound 12 hours a day and my diet would consist of
Laphroaig and ibuprofen, (not that that's all bad ;-).

I envy you youngsters.

That sure sounds like a healthy thing to do!!!

What sounds like a healthy thing to do ? Running a
marathon in the first place or hunkering down with
ice, alcohol and anti-inflammatories afterwards ?

Makes no difference, I'd say that neither one is a
particularly healthy thing to do.

Yeah, yeah, you sound like my wife.

Healthy or not, and we agree that it's not, running a
marathon *is* an accomplishment of sorts. You can't
just lace up your running shoes and go run 26.2 miles,
you have to train for months and you have to be fairly
diligent about it.

For what it's worth.

If you have to ice your knees "12 hours a day" for over a week, and live
on a diet that consists of Laphroaig and ibuprofen, maybe that means you
didn't train long enough (or you shouldn't be doing it in the first place).

You do that to yourself for the feeling of "accomplishment"? What was
the accomplishment?

That's beyond my understanding.

Willi
