--  Running thought #1:  There comes a point in every long run when you realize you got it or you don’t.

--  Running thought #2:  Never try to do simple math at mile 23, it’s not going to be correct and it’s not pretty. 

-- Training thought:  A Dairy Queen Blizzard the night before a race helps performance, not sure if it’s the extra energy stores or guilt, but it works.

-- Political thought:  We should take all the would be Presidential Candidates, line them up at the starting line of the NYC marathon and the first one to finish will serve as our next President.  CAN”T be any worse then our current process...think about it.
