conv: I had an overweight friend run a marathon I was just speaking with my buddy. He is very over wight and somehow finished a marathon last weekend. Impressive! wow yes it is  I couldn't believe it. Just the day before we were crushing cheese steaks. He probably stored that up for his energy for the race I guess_comma_ I;m sure he eat again after that. He loves food. If he can do it I know I can run one.
