Do they think someone is actually reading that? Oh, also recently I got one about the dangers of pancreatic cancer or something like that. Well, I agree its dangerous.

Which makes me even more glad that you didn't just delete me. :)<br />I get the strangest requests, too. Like things that truly aren't related to running or fitness at all. My favorite is when they try to pull some little detail out of your latest post, like, "Oh, I'm totally a fan, I read all your stuff." Lol!<br />I've grown to really appreciate the bloggers who aren't for sale.
