Mark, You are an accomplished runner, but a bit harsh with that 'pretend' comment. I watched a young man, 6'2" and a little pudgy with low self-confidence change. He trained and ran 3 or 4 marathons. He lost a little weight but never became 'cross country runner' thin, but he did gain a lot of confidence in himself. He did it! For most of us, just running a marathon would be a lofty goal. Regards, Bob S.
