"inquire about scientology"! Ha. I guess there's no better time to get informed, right?

Cripes! This comes a day late. The Martian Marathon (www.martianmarthon.com) was just held in MI on Sunday. This should have been required prerace reading. I wonder how many souls were lost due to your procrastination.

I wish you had written this before I ran on Saturday. Oh, wait, those weren't aliens -- they were just rain-soaked Richmonders running the 10K.

I would add another to your second list -- what to do if you're actually whisked away:

6. When you get to the aliens' destination, get a run in and add it to your "strangest places I've run" list.

Hope to God I don't see aliens whilst I am stuck in quicksand. This merely proves you have wayyy too much free time up thar in them mountains.

I think that instead of stopping Gustavo short you should just hit lap. This way when you return after all the probing you can tell stories about how you ran fifty-million light -miles last week. And it sure wold help out your average pace!

You should write a "runner's survival book" that describes how do deal with these types of situations.

I don't need a cut of your sales. You can just mention me in the acknowledgement sections. Something along the lines of "this book would not have been possible without the help of shoreturtle".

Then again, you are probably already shopping around for a book deal.

You've outdone yourself here in the humor and helpfulness departments (though on opposite ends of the spectrum). Could the next installment involve how to address children when they plead with you not to do your long run? It's an emergency I've faced a lot lately.

I'm just keeping count, here. This makes installment #2 in your "ongoing feature" right? No matter how random and incosistently they appear, I find this series very helpful. I can't tell you how many times I've encountered quicksand and saved my own life.

Now I know what to do when encountering green guys on my long runs.

Thanks for your advice. It was worth every penny.

Also, do not allow aliens to attach to your face and deposit eggs into your stomach.
