Marathons are bad for you.

It's about time exercise took its rightful place amongst coffee, eggs, beer, chocolate, and aspirin.

Fuck the artery problems...my wife used to run marathons and when I'd meet her behind the finish line, I'd see people in medical tents getting IV's, in foil blankets, etc. I even saw a few ambulances pulling away in full-on emergency mode. I was like - FUCK THAT.

You never saw anyone needing IV's or stuff like that after our hockey games.

tell me about it....that Kurosawa marathon on TCM last tuesday nearly killed me. Soon as the last movie ended around 8am, I flipped out and had a panic attack.....guess it's pretty bad when just sitting around watching movies can give you a panic attack.

No, they only need dental surgery, and facial reconstruction.
