I can honestly say that in the entirety of my career as a corporate lawyer, no one has ever questioned a citation.

That said, I've heard about some really persnickity patent cases, where people questioned basic stuff like whether - was a dash or a negative sign, so precision matters.

Westlaw does all of this for you now?

One pair. Explain how rotating shoes helps.

The foam (or whatever the soles are made of) compresses each time you run on them. It takes time to decompress.

How many miles do you run in your shoes before you replace them? I start to notice lower back soreness when I have run 200-250 miles in a pair of shoes.

Plus what surface do you run on -- On dirt? On concrete? On a treadmill?
If I don't run half of my measly 30 weekly miles on dirt, I start to notice lower back soreness.

In the winter it's mostly sidewalks. The rest of the year on a crushed gravel path, which is usually too muddy/sloppy in the winter.

I probably put 300-400 miles on a pair. I'm only running about 60 miles/month (that was a week of running for me 20 years ago).

When I worked at the Patent Office I knew the guy who was the expert in shoes. He said never wear a pair of shoes two days in a row- and this is all shoes, not just running. The day off lets them return to normal. I can really tell the difference.

Pretty, pretty good. I really never ran regularly till I was 55. Not having that many miles on the old bod makes it harder and easier.

I’m in Burlington Vermont. Today it got 10 inches of snow. When I ran on the bike path this AM there was only 2 or 3 inches so no big deal. But in the morning? I’m not sure it is possible to run in 10 inches so it may be on roads, But it will happen. As to old body, 2 words: John Sarno.

Hey Hank, I don't know if you are a podcast kinda guy, but if so, you might like Mike Birbiglia's podcast, Working It Out. He is a storyteller, and he talks to comedians and other artists about material and technique.

Love him. I’m not a Podcast guy, but the Missus is. I’ll tell her. Last November we saw his show in NY. I believe Sleepwalk With Me started as a Moth story. EVERY storyteller looks to him as what they hope for.

I don’t know that I buy what he’s selling. When I say old, it’s old in years but not in miles. That’s the good. The bad is that I’m just learning about shit like easy runs, trails and shoe drops at 60.

My great-grandfather was a cobbler. He said the same thing. I assumed it was in part to keep him in business.

I will. It is a nice city, so I want its team to win; 1 game then lose Sunday.

By this AM they had plowed the bike path. The only other city I know that does that is TCOTU.
