Has America’s “addiction to foreign oil” got you all bummed out? Well, all the yammering intellectuals on NPR were in a major tizzy this week over Mr. Bush’s use of that phrase in his State of the Union speech. I was listening to a bunch of the professional pontificators hashing it over this morning as I drove to my long run start.

This is an extract of a recent article written by Chris Russell.

And where does all the fat go when people lose weight? I know our bodies use it up for energy and produce heat and other byproducts, but it still seems like it's gone to the twilight zone where lost socks and undeliverable emails end up.

Speaking of "America's Addiction to foreign oil", why do some runners drive to run? I can understand driving to a race, but just to train? It must be just me. I try to be as "environmentally conscious" as I can be by recycling and saving gas and not driving as much as possible. When recently I was asked to come and join a running group that meets at various metro parks in the area I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Drive to go run? No way. At $2.35 a gallon? I'll save it and bike to these runs if I can find a safe way to get there.

I can think of 2 reasons why I drive to run about twice a week: if you run in a group some people are going to have to drive to the start, and if you want to run on trail you may need to drive to find appropriate areas. Just some thoughts

I drive to my trail runs because if I run on the roads to get there I will get slaughtered! there are no shoulders or side walks and the drivers around here will run even bikers off the road. plus baby joggers are not road friendly.. I may place my own life on the line by running to the trails but not a babys

My new life would feel much like it was back in Brooklyn in the early 50's. Open windows, sleeping on the fire escape but possibly running a radio just for the morning news. LOL.

If the rest of the neighborhood would do the same thing, it just may make things simpler and less confusing. Seemed to work then.
