But my goal is to do a marathon by next year (and maybe fit in a half before then), so I really gotta bump it up. Any suggestions on how to get that mental motivation would be appreciated.

Ryan Paugh What are you guys watching on TV now that LOST is over? I've been watching a lot of Reality TV actually. My new guilty pleasure is Billy The Exterminator. No joke. I love this show. I think it's because he loves his job so much and I love seeing that. What's your guilty pleasure?

David Spinks A lot of young pros start a blog when they're on the job hunt. Then when they get a job, the blog takes a back seat. Are blogs just not as valuable for young pros once they've been hired? If this has happened to you, how did you adapt your blog to your new goals and lifestyle?

It's an idea I'm going to tackle in a future blog post but I am glad to see I'm not the only one to have noticed it.

Daniel Goyeneche Thoughts on last night's episode? It was probably the best episode so far (maybe 2nd best). Ben is by far the best character...although we saw a softer side of him - will evil/cunning Ben return?

Maybe along the journey of following Jacob he got bitter and started to doubt...or something...puzzling indeed..

Andrew Stuhl: @Ryan-great question. Hamels = shaky. Lee will start Game 1 and Manuel said he'll pitch Lee 3 times in the series. Who has a better offense?
