But I don't think you should <i>that</i> hard to believe ... there are whole communities of people like him.<br/><br/>I kinda feel like throwing down the gauntlet here Charles. As much as I admire your story of endurance from the Yom Kippur Marathon, I feel it was a foolish move so close to NYC. In contrast I am feeling strong and speedy as I begin my taper ... like I am up for kicking some serious butt. I feel a small wager would be in order.

How do your kids and wife deal with your obsession? Do you have a job? When did you first start being totally consumed with exercise -- was it before or after marriage? Do you have any other hobbies? I'd love to know. Interestingly, instead of inspiring me, your tales of intensive training made me want to eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's and hide under the covers. But I'm sure people who are into what you do feel exactly the opposite. Anyway, good luck.
