Just a word of caution to marathon event planners: If you're organizing a future race, jot down the amount of fluids you think you'll need to have available at water stations and then multiply it by 100... thousand. My brother and his wife ran the Melbourne (AUS) marathon this past weekend and by now we've all heard about the Chicago marathan craziness. In both cases, there were high temps and not enough fluids. Made for rough races. So lets modify the race plans and pull some tanker trucks up to the courses. Might help avoid a nasty public relations mess and runner casualties.

Capitols
My wife Rachel and I have developed a "travel goal". I think it's great to put a symbolic carrot out there to encourage travel and new experiences. We've committed to seeing every state capitol in the US. The rules are, we have to be together, we have to take at least one photo of us in front of the capitol as proof, and we must tour the building and surrounding city. Just recently we added Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and our nation's capitol in DC. What are your travel goals?
