Y'know, you don't have to amend the physical parameters - seems to me that the old Geek Code covers that ground perfectly adequately.

The rest is awesome, though. How about a figure for equipment - particularly shoes? Maybe:

Footwear preferences

Fs = sneakers or other generic sports shoes; Ft = track shoes, designed for competitive running; Fc = cross-trainers; Fb = boots, shoes with ankle support; F! = bare feet

Hmm...I think that makes me:

Sx A2 Wn DM M3 Sp Em Fs Ix

Where Ix = no ipod! :) (Alternatives Ia = ipod always, Is = ipod sometimes, Ix = ipod never)

Fun! :)

tnx CM! — but just wait until you see Parts 2, 3, etc. — that's where we get into how far off the trail you go when you have to "go" (if you leave the trail at all) ... what you think about painting tree roots orange for runner safety ... whether you take performance-enhancing drugs (and how you define them) ... how much you spend on equipment ... whether you disdain early start options ... how you feel about pacers ... how many toenails you have left ... etc.! (^_^)
