Not a marathoner - not yet anyway - but a runner. I run to clear my head and stay in shape. To be honest, I don't have a real desire to train for, or participate in, a marathon.

A few years ago I was running steadily and increased both my pace and distance. I realy got into the whole challenge part of it and as my fitness increased, it got easier to just keep on running. I'm 6'1" and naturally slim, so I like to sit around 180 lbs. During this period, I dropped down to 168 lbs or so and my friends and family, esp. my wife, told me I was too damn skinny (I was). I can't imagine what a marathon would do to me!

I'd have to start hanging out with that skeletal grandma in the other thread...
