Ana 30 mins - Refining My Chess

I did 30 mins today. My right knee ached for a while after about 1500m then it eased off. So far so good. My weight is holding steady. I am refining my chess openings. I am right now looking at 1. e4 and I am refining my Grand Prix attack against the Sicilian defense.
Very soon I want to kick Kips ass. He wont know what hit him. And oh, to make matters worse or better, I have both Fritz 12 and Chessmaster grandmaster edition to practice with and almost 100 books.

Meanwhile below is the first guy above 70 Kgs to do 10K in under 27 minutes. Chris Solinsky weighs 73Kgs, compare that to the top guns at this level, Bekele at 54 kg (119 lbs), Gebrselassie (56 kg/123 lbs), Tergat (63kg/132 lbs) and Sammy Wanjiru (52kg/115 lbs). He is an outlier.
And oh, btw, he runs 100 – 120 miles a week.Carefully ponder the implications of that.
