Just for the record, I have never to my recollection run til I puked.  I have 
run once or twice until I came within seconds of passing out, although 
neither time for charity.  I wonder, would I have gotten more praise for 
running til I nearly passed out if I'd done it for charity?  As it was I 
merely heard about the foolishness of running in the mid-summer afternoon 
humidity of Iowa.  Of course you have to take that with a grain of salt, as 
Iowa consistently has one of the highest per capital rates of obesity in the 
country.  I seem to be running off topic here ...  ;)
