LawTalkers - The thread where Spring has sprung, and Penske has risen from the law. Word!

Yet it was better spent than 1/18th of a morning waddling down some streets thinking you are "racing," admiring the "fast" people you know, and secretly fingering yourself as you recall your romantic liaison with Thurgreed.

Please stop. It is simply untrue that someone in "top shape" in their 20s can't finish 3 miles in under half an hour. It is NOT FAST. That's a 10-minute mile. That's NOT FAST. It's not laughable, maybe, but it's NOT FAST. Unless black is white, and night is day, it's NOT FAST.

A little late to this particular party, but this call of Donovan's goal is pretty awesome.

I think Cantor was in tune with vuvuzelas.

Don't know about whether Cytrix works on macs but macs do run windows.

The mac operating system is far, far better than windows. I'm in the why didn't I switch sooner camp. Actually, I am the kind of guy who jerks off thinking of an imac.

Citrix runs on Mac and you don't have to have Windows loaded on your machine for all of the Windows apps on Citrix to work (this may go without saying to people more technically savvy than I, but I am saying it anyway), although of course you can't work on Windows offline, and I find that my Mac quits out of Citrix much more quickly than my PC ever did. .

3 miles in 20 minutes is not.

I've watched matches on Univision to listen to Cantor. I don't speak Spanish, but he is always so darn excited for both teams to score, it's great stuff.

Fugee Sister is short so 4mph is a pretty fast walk for her. She & I did a 5K walk recently -- just walking, no running -- and finished at 48:something.

Perhaps someone is confusing 5K and 10K?

A 10K in 45 minutes is a lot more impressive. That's pretty fast. You won't win the race, but it's a decent time.

(This has probably been rehashed ad nauseum by now, but I'm just catching up.)
