This is excellent news, since Spiritualmonkey and I have already been making plans for post-marathon recovery, and they include peanuts and beer.

I always tell people of all the great things made by science, such as beer, lasers, and dinosaurs. Without science, our quarks wouldn’t even stay together and we’d disintegrate. Especially without the beer. Remember: Anytime you use anything that contains protons, give thanks to almighty Science.

Good luck to you and spiritualmonkey with the marathon!
