I watched some of the PK Chang's Arizona Rock 'N Roll Marathon on TV. Michael Vick was one of the celebrity runners. The caption while he was being interviewed said he rushed 46,112 yards today. The statistic was an allusion to his football career.

The current NFL rushing yards leader is Emmitt Smith with a career total of 18,355 yards. He has been in the NFL for 15 years.

I read an e-mail from my marathon "coach" that the Houston marathon folks had a good time. The coach had to drop out at mile 16 because of a problem with a sciatic nerve. She sounded positive despite the lack of a finish. She gave rave reviews about the medical attention she received and she received finisher's gear but not a finisher's time for her efforts.

I haven't heard from the others yet. Probably because they are just now coming home.

It was a gorgeous day.
