If you want to keep your heart healthy, there are hundreds of different cardial exercises you can do than run 26.2 miles in the span of a few hours.
Sorry if any of you are runners, but there's nothing I hate more on this earth than someone I know who makes a big fat deal out of their running regiment.
"How about we just schedule the meeting before the day starts? We can do it at 7 AM. That should be plenty of time."
"Weeeeeeellllll... I'll JUST getting done with my morning 10 mile run at that time and I'll need to shower and stuff.... you know... can we push it back to 8?"
If God wanted us to run, he would have given us wheels for legs.

I am running the Marin Corps Marathon on Sunday with my 52 year old dad.
I do it because I can. I don't let it interfere with my job or family time. Many people don't know I run...
Some people enjoy bench pressing enough weight that they require a spotter so they don't drop the bar on their throat...a la Stafon Johnson from USC.
People get injured from lifting weights....people get injured from running, and some die as seen in this article. And a lot of people die and injure themselves from just being fat.
I run marathons because I can. Not because I want to work-out my cardiovascular system. I run to push my body to see if I can shave some minutes off of my last run.
...like the bench presser pushes himself to see if he can do 1 more rep or add a little more weight.
...and like the fat person seeing if they can fit one more slice of pizza in their stomach.
