    What impresses me most, besides the run itself, is that you remember so many details. Were you recording as you ran?

I want to know this as well. There's a verbatim conversation in the middle for god's sake.

I have considered taking photos or recording an E-Vox along the way, but it seems too much a distraction from the goal of conveying oneself from the start to the finish as expeditiously as possible.

That long dialog was fairly approximate, meant mainly to illustrate the way that socializing can help break up the monotony of a fairly individualist activity. I did want to get my use of the line "Is it because of the metric system?" on the record, as dropping unappreciated "Pulp Fiction" quotes into conversation is a personal indulgence.

Found it! Wonderful. Also a hobby of mine, though I don't think I've ever pulled off one so apropos.

Anyway -- great read on the 50 miler.
