[quote=UCGal]It does seem out of scale that his mortgage broker got a sentance of half the time as this guy.

It’s also an interesting crossover from the OT topic about alcholism… this is a guy who had been seriously addicted to drugs, and then became seriously addicted to long distance running… substituting one addiction with a healthier one.[/quote]

Running is the perfect fix for addiction. It is hard to run and stick anything in your mouth at the same time and if you do you are probably burning it off or you have the hope of throwing up. Then you have the endorphins and whatnot. Plus you can make yourself too tired to go out and party. It is much more admirable than drinking a fifth or eating a half gallon. Careful with those knees.
