26.2 miles (42 kilometers if you're a commie)

I was watching the Biggest Loser last night with Jo (eating nachos and drinking coronas in celebration of Mexican Food Day, since nobody really cares about the Battle of Peublo because beating the French is like waking up in the morning) when the challenge for the final four contestants was announced: RUNNING A MARATHON!!!!!111

The first person to run a marathon fell down dead upon completing it.

And *he* was trained military. ;)

As a side note: You're an intelligent person. WTF are you doing watching that show in the first place? (I vehemently deny any claims that I am an erstwhile Cops addict.)

Bah! He was an Athenian.

I like seeing people cry when they are doing things that aren't really that hard for people in the middle of the bell curve.

You going to find a specific marathon or just run 26.2 miles on the treadmill (or with your pedometer)?

[prodigal_lawyer]

Pedometer. I'm thinking run to Greenlake(2.2), circle it 8 times (2.8 around) and run back(2.2). That will actually be a little bit more.

Pssht. I currently work out what could only be labeled a "moderate amount," and I'm pretty sure that I could get myself marathon-ready in a month. I don't think I have time to prove that, though, so I'm just going to keep going with 2 miles a day.
