Steve,
When you get to St. George (don't know why anyone would want to go there
:-)), take your bamboo with you.


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

Forty's dates are as good as any. I have to convince my various bosses

*AND* spending several days fishing with ruffians are both mortal
necessities.


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 ;-).


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.

Even without the beating, accomplishment is grossly overrated. It is what
those who are too dull to appreciate the subtle grandeur of process make do
with.
