cline Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 A good article out this week. http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa1208051 Decent write up (but no reveals - gotta see article for that) in NYT Well. Wish I could add "drink 8 glasses of water" to that... but it doesn't fit within the scope of the article. I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.
