I don’t mean mistakes like that. I meant Blue Book errors.

One pair. Explain how rotating shoes helps.

How many miles do you run in your shoes before you replace them? I start to notice lower back soreness when I have run 200-250 miles in a pair of shoes.

Plus what surface do you run on -- On dirt? On concrete? On a treadmill?
If I don't run half of my measly 30 weekly miles on dirt, I start to notice lower back soreness.

In the winter it's mostly sidewalks. The rest of the year on a crushed gravel path, which is usually too muddy/sloppy in the winter.

I probably put 300-400 miles on a pair. I'm only running about 60 miles/month (that was a week of running for me 20 years ago).

Pretty, pretty good. I really never ran regularly till I was 55. Not having that many miles on the old bod makes it harder and easier.

Hey Hank, I don't know if you are a podcast kinda guy, but if so, you might like Mike Birbiglia's podcast, Working It Out. He is a storyteller, and he talks to comedians and other artists about material and technique.

When I worked at the Patent Office I knew the guy who was the expert in shoes. He said never wear a pair of shoes two days in a row- and this is all shoes, not just running. The day off lets them return to normal. I can really tell the difference.

I will. It is a nice city, so I want its team to win; 1 game then lose Sunday.

By this AM they had plowed the bike path. The only other city I know that does that is TCOTU.

We plow our bike paths (sorta). Sometimes before streets (different people and equipment, generally) causing the NIMBY types to freak out.

I just got news my cancer is back. They're still figuring out which kind and all that, I'll get lung biopsy this week. I'm not yet fully public on it in places like facebook, but if you all could either pray to the divine for me if that's your thing or cus the damn disease out or whatever if that's your thing, it'd be much appreciated.

Thank you, and thanks to everyone.

It is especially good to have K on the case. Little dude makes me smile. Looks like my surgery won't be until next week. But I'm gearing up to fight this thing. I'm going to plant some trees this weekend because, fuckit, I plan to watch them grow.

His Instagram for the last two years has been dedicated to his cancer and more importantly, his utter refusal to let it overwhelm him. Almost every post had a #fucancer tag attached. About a year ago, he got cleared to go back on the trails, and he's been biking and doing what he loves ever since. As recently as January, his numbers from the oncologist were doing really well. It was one of my favorite feeds to follow because it was so full of life and someone doing what he clearly loved. And it was beautiful. He took great photos that really captured the natural beauty around him. And many of the pictures were action shots of the various bike trails he was on. It was hard to reconcile his illness with his absolute love of life. He'd posted in January that his numbers at the oncologist's office were doing great, and I (and I assume everyone else) had assumed that he was otherwise healthy.

I'll miss him a lot, even though we never managed to connect in real life. Once, he was going to come down to Houston for a depo, and we'd have drinks. But it got cancelled, and I never had cause to go up to Minnesota

Thanks, guys.

Sorry to bring the board down. Maybe talk about something uplifting, like it having been almost 24 hours now since the last story about a Supreme Court member getting a little off-the-books payola.

Also, are you all really excited about "coronation quiche" or what?
