I only listen to music when I’m really concentrating on pace, during a speed workout.

When I was training for the 2006 marathon, I did several 10 mile midweek runs on a treadmill at the gym I go to at work, when I had early meetings and couldn’t get that much distance done in the morning. Seven miles doesn’t seem that bad (although the view is a little dull).

I was just wondering if it was too hard to pay attention to the book while running.

I give you a lot of credit for running that long on a treadmill. I can’t make it past 4. Of course, I’ve been slacking off big time, so I couldn’t got that far anyway.

Your evil plan is clearly working, because I was focused like a laser beam before I started your book. I just hope you haven’t written any more like it, so that I can get back to work when I finish this one. Contagious is a lighthearted romp about a cute talking puppy, right?

I’m glad I’m filling up your days, and that you’re enjoying it. It’s all part of my evil plan to keep people away from writing!

Take a deep breath, Mr. Unfocused!
