And THIS is why what you do, Gary, is needed - you analyze the research and are willing to be wrong - now, in the past, or in the future, and alter your course and talking points accordingly. That is awesome.

You'd be perfect for the back page "I'm a runner" article, though I'm assuming you wrote something more in-depth. If it's geeky, try Running Times. If it's really long distance, try Marathon & Beyond. Good folks at the latter.

To get the book deal, was it done through pre-existing contacts or through a recommendation or lead from Colbert directly? Thanks!

Excellent advice. Putting a book "out there" does jack squat for one's actual impact and sales. Be the person that other people BEG to write a book and then go from there....

And spending money on your brain is always good. And sometimes tax deductible. :)

Whoa. That actually sounds amazing....but... latkes are made with flour. Sorry for ruining it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmWd6NIloLc
