Hey blackboxx - when you face the nightmare, it's no longer so scary! =P I'm lucky to live in San Francisco, where much more scandalous activity happens and the sight of a guy running in his boxer briefs is not a big deal.

If you want some motivation to run, try reading _Born to Run_ by Chris McDougall. I'm almost done. Every chapter just makes you want to leave the house and start running. It's great.
