Maybe. MTA: Doh! I will be in DC that weekend.
I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. dgb2n@yahoo.com

Lots of good running routes in DC. Let me know if you're looking for some company. Damn, that sounded needy didn't it.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
so basically you can't answer the question
How To Run a Marathon: Step 1 - start running. There is no Step 2.
I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
Why is it sideways?
Lazy idiot
I can't believe this thread has gone on for so long and there has been no mention of Ed Whitlock.

Crap. Well, only once, then. +1 to your internet awareness.
I think its pretty much common sense that someone driving in a car in a cemetery is completely different than someone jogging through a cemetery. But since you want it spelled out, here's my take. Some one in a car is likely to be in the cemetery for funereal reasons: visiting the grave site of a loved one, or perhaps looking to purchase a family plot. In any case, their likely to be in a somewhat somber, reverent mood. In all cases, they're unlikely to be blasting music, honking their horn, or otherwise drawing attention to themselves. Cars in a cemetery are expected, commonplace, daily occurrences. Everyone of us has arrived and departed from a cemetery in a car; they are a normal and necessary part of the logistics of a funereal service. Therefore cars are more likely to blend into the background from the perspective of other cemetery visitors. Also, the car itself creates a spacial boundary that prevents or limits unnecessary intrusion on the personal space of a visiting mourner. This is especially true since a car is likely to moving faster than a runner, and therefore will enter-and-exit the perception of a visiting mourner in a shorter period of time. A runner, on the other hand, is not in a cemetery for funereal reasons. He or she is there for recreational purposes, arguably the polar emotional opposite of mourning. And even if the runner is entirely quiet and respectful, its still a more unusual occurrence and therefore more likely to be a distraction and perhaps an annoyance to a visiting mourner. That's my answer to the question, since you asked.
