Runner's Heights: It's a Bird, a Plane, Just an E-mail!

Cumulative mileage: 114 miles...

Ah, those shin splints are back again with a vengeance. You feel it during the run, especially if you wish to accelerate and you feel it the next day. I guess some Rest, Ice, Compression, Extension (RICE) would help, but today, being lazy, I skipped the ICE part which might not have been cool. But, if it continues to hurt tomorrow, I might reach for that ice-pack in the freezer or that bag of frozen okras that's begging to be removed to warmer climes.

American Airlines and Jet Blue are beginning to offer e-mail in their flights for a fee. So, now, you have one less excuse to get away from it all. Soon, you'll pine for YouTube, your Google search, and Yahoo news. The world wide web will be now swarming around you at 34,000 feet and you'll be under its spell--they don't call it the web for nothing. Your boss away at Bora Bora...oh, no! Wait! he just sent you an e-mail to make sure that he has the report ready when he lands on the tarmac in two hours. It's the perfect time and place distortion courtesy of the friendly skies.
