The Zen of Jellybeans & Secret Files

You want to make the miles fly by on your next long run?  Well, all you need to do is grab a package of Jelly Belly Sport Beans and hit the road with this fun new game.

It's really easy to play - pop a bean in your mouth and start running.  The object is to run as far as you can before the bean completely melts in your mouth.  After mastering the quarter mile and then conquering the half, I tried for THE MILE.  But as hard as I tried, the best I managed was just under three quarters of a mile.  I've got some work to do in terms of perfecting the right way to slow down the melting.  I have some ideas.

By the way, I don't know if the Sport Bean's nutritional benefits are mitigated by a time release, so I can't recommend this game as an alternative to proper fueling.

My next goal is to perfect the melting technique and then turn the game on it's head by using a foam roller to roll out my legs for the entire time it takes me to eat a bean...

Has anyone out there worked at an election polling place?  While I was waiting in line to vote I saw a sky blue folder laying out on a counter marked "Secrecy File".  I'm not sure why you would mark a secret folder in a 48 point bold font and then leave it out for everyone to see, but now that I know about it I'd love to know what it's for....
