Few days, max. I'm talking about events like the New York City Marathon that all kinds of ordinary people run in, BTW--people who have regular jobs, moms with kids, and so on. If it were as debilitating as you suggest, they wouldn't be able to participate. And I've seen interviews with or stories about quite a few over the years. Never saw any of them say their health was destroyed, even temporarily. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
