I promised something other than a book review or race report so here is something else I do. When I am at home, I make "Jim's Special Secret Organic Longevity Diet Broth" three or four times each day. (Perhaps I should open a marketing company since I am so good at coming up with memorable names for products) The recipe is simple. First I turn on the kettle.

A good friend asked me if I do anything but read and run. I guess that is a lot of what my blog has turned into - a book review and race report.

I have heard Nando Parrado speak twice before. I have watched the movie Alive. The story of the rugby team that crashed on a plane in South America. Many of those in the crash had never seen snow. They were dressed in tshirts. No food. No water. They resorted to cannibalism but that is not the real story. That is a sideline. Nando's mother and sister died in the crash. 45 people crashed in the Andes. 29 people survived the initial crash. 24 of those had no major injuries.
