I've been doing some reading on the top marathoners that the world has to offer. I have discovered that Kenyans are by far the most dominant marathon runners. They have a combination of genetic traits and hard work, and that my friend- is quite impressive.
So, I looked to see what commonalities in physical characteristics they had. Most of them are 5'-8" and 130 lbs. This is encouraging, because I have at least half of that. I have the height. Gotta start somewhere, right? At 208 pounds, I have 78 pounds to lose. I figure if I remove half my back and 1 thigh, I might just make the weight. Then I could run as if I could float.

Don't we all wish we could run like a Kenyan. Sadly, we're lazy Americans! :)

even unlazy americans can't run like the kenyans, but it would be politically incorrect to note that genetics play any role in athletic achievement.
on the other hand, i think you might have a hard time running with one less thigh, jay
