    Could you let me know the warmest state MA, ME or MD lawyers (I have a monopoly on the Maxxx states) can waive into?

    Kirk and Callahan: Done

    I heard much (but not all) of it and thought Boomer was terrific. He made sense, he was articulate, and he didn't even need D&C around to get out what he wanted to say. I was sorry when it was over and could have listened to him all morning.

    Thanks Fris, for the tips. I injured this same achilles playing tennis 3 years ago, so its a bit of a chronic problem. I use arnica gel, and I've also got it taped with kinesio tape which is amazing! Its still swollen, but the pain is way way down.

    "Competitive pace" is a relative term. I'm a mid-pack swimmer and a back of the pack cyclist and runner. Hopefully, I can move up to MOP in one or the other with some really good training effort, and another significant weight loss -- but it all takes time and a heck of a lot of tenacity.

    I have a friend who races and I kept on asking him a lot of questions about his events. He finally said "why don't you just do one yourself." I, being an 39-year-old athlete wannabe and not really an athlete (although I love swimming, but I'd never ever run, or been on a road bike) immediately...

    I started running because it got me to the finish line in triathlons -- I was always more of a walker. But I came to enjoy the process, and "speed" (I'm still very slow), and especially how my body felt when I finished a good run. I'm currently injured (a bad achilles) and on no running until...

    Kirk and Callahan: Done

    I turned it on at 8:30, heard Callahan screaming about Manny -- just about literally, their voices were so loud and shrill my bp must have jumped 30 points -- and then switched stations. My bad, for even thinking I could find someone discussing last night's game.

    Right Arm, I think you're freaking out a little about getting it absolutely "right." I say that respectfully -- please keep in mind that Hal's plans are one-size fits all, but no athlete is alike. Use it as a guide, but don't worry if you vary it a bit because of other goals, or because it...

    Joe Posnanski: Lord of Lists

    I noticed that as well. Under the '91 rule change, it couldn't be counted because he gave up a hit in the 10th. "An official no-hit game occurs when a pitcher (or pitchers) allows no hits during the entire course of a game, which consists of at least nine innings."

    He was actually in Boston last night for Lester's no-no. His regular column has a terrific take: Joe Knows ETA: And now his blog is up, discussing yesterday. Again, He Gets it Right

    2008 NFL Draft Game Thread, Day 2

    Belichick in press conference channels Mayock: "We wanted to get younger and faster on defense." Lots of use of the word "productive" on all selections.

    I am far from a great runner -- in fact I'm mediocre and slow -- but I use a Polar RSsomething, with a footpod, which lets me figure out distance and pace. I love it. The Garmin si too big, and I can't take it into the pool with me, and I have no need for multiple wrist gadgets.

    Congrats on a great race! I had my worst 10K ever, but that's because I was undertrained. It was a beautiful day, although a bit tricky to get the clothing right--I was either freezing or too warm. Dick Hoyt spoke at the pasta dinner and he was just fabulous and inspirational. I don't think...

    Could be IT band -- it inserts side/back of knee, and many runners get pain there. I first had IT issues when I tried to up for mileage for a half. As for rolling, ouch on the rolling pin. I use a foam roller on my IT -- hip to knee, on my calves, shins, and quads or hammys if I can manage...
