He was very trim, but completely unfit and under-muscled. First day in the field station establishing a grid was a complete ass-whooping for him. Maximum load he could carry in his backpack was less than 20lbs. After a couple of days he was completely cooked.

So the woman who said “the Berlin Marathon” came into the group with a lot more cred than the man who mentioned a local 5k. I always answered with “eating cookies,” since, really, that has always been my real reason for running. I’d rather exercise more than eat less, and training for a marathon is a nice big calorie sink.

“I want to be the kind of person who sits down in a public restaurant and orders three pieces of pie, and while I’m eating the pie other people in the restaurant look over and say to each other, ‘Wow. Look at that guy. How does he eat that way and stay so trim and fit?'”

I’m that guy. Never had a gym membership in my life. Also, I hated gradeschool gym and avoided it to the point where it cost me high school graduation. What I do have is an obsessive compulsive pacing habit.
