I hang out on the marathon training board of Runners World, so I get self-conscious. Totally off topic, we saw Ganga Queen last night, an HBO documentary about that Aussie girl who was accused of taking 10 lbs of pot into Bali and is sitting there in jail for the next 20 years. OMG, the description for the documentary said "harrowing tale" and it was in all respects. I think the step-brother did it. <strong>Runforlife</strong>, cool!! Keep waving to me a couple more times till I get your face stuck in my head...I am horrible with faces & names (and trivia and history and remembering movie and book plots...great with lyrics though). :) Ewen, lol, sorry about those flippant 11-miler remarks.

That's great news. I think you've missed an opportunity to pick up some ad revenue for the blog. Another secret pill worth trying is this one: http://www.mobicosa.com/ Recommended to me by a 70+ marathoner (who ran 2:40s as a young'n). And stop dissin on 11 mile long runs. 18k IS a long run for me! As long as they don’t say “Howdie Doodie” too.

That's excellent that you're trying it too, between the handful of readers here that are testing it out, we'll have a pretty nice little data pool. I also love that your hand surgeon relative swears by it. My friend Kat, with whom I ran the Lehigh Valley Half in May, is a serious horsewoman and has been giving her horses glucosamine and MSM since the early 90s. She says you can always look to whatever supplements horses get to find what's ahead for humans in the next 5 years. I thought that was really interesting.

It's funny, when I'm injured, I always feel as if the end is near for my running career. At 54, every day I can run is magical. You seem to be blessed with some kind of gift that keeps you going and at a high level. I started taking the magic pills yesterday and hoping for the best. I heard about glucosamine over 20 years ago from a relative who is a hand surgeon, he swears by it. I'm not into quack supplements but this stuff may have some merit.
