Strange how things come in groups.
The other night, the LW and I were talking about Top Gear and their impending world tour and British actress Kristin Scott Thomas came up. The very next day at work I was reading a news article from a Canadian news site and WHAM! Kristin Scott Thomas' picture in the margin linking to an article in the entertainment section. If you want a third, we watched Four Weddings and a Funeral last night, but that's probably related to the first two.
Then, after my last post about running and science, I find this article in the New Yorker.
Interesting discussion of the development of running in the U.S. from both a competitive and recreational standpoint. Also some interesting comments on the demographics of recreational runners. Did you know the readership of Runner's World has the same average income as that of Forbes? Or, how about how we poor-fair-mediocre recreational runners subsidize the elite (our shoe and clothing purchases and race entry fees pay their appearance fees and sponsorships with the major companies). Intuitively obvious, I'd just never thought of it that way before.
Will there be a third?
