So many books, so little time

I had my first of (hopefully) two long runs before the race in (GULP) two weeks. It was good. Twelve miles according to mapmyrun.com, got lost once (because the online map doesn't account for the dozens of dirt bike trails actually branching off the main ones in the former military base where I run), spent the first four miles in warm-up mode, struggled through the next four miles of hills, and was cruising well above speed for the last four. Finished in a little longer (about 10 minutes) than my last full half-marathon time. I was exhausted last night but feel pretty darn good today. I don't think this upcoming race is going to be a personal best, but I'm starting to feel confident that I can finish it.

It's funny; around mile nine the runner's high gets so strong I never ever want to stop. I have these stoner-brilliant realizations about life and the universe that never seem quite so profound after I'm done. But still, runs like that make all the days you drag yourself out and shuffle along for an hour fully worth it.

Then I went to Borders. ( i shouldn't be allowed to do that )

If anyone has recommendations for other books you think I'd like, I am, as they say, all ears.
