> A minute later these two girls pass me. They look about mid-twenties. And, I don’t want to offend, but let’s just say that they are “dumpy” looking. Neither of them looks like they could run a mile. They pass me, chatting happily about a soap opera or something, breathing easily.

Just wanted to point out that some of us do have that “dumpy” look and are very, very in shape. Trust me, not everyone who’s in shape looks like a supermodel.

I remember seeing a picture of you, and I agree with whoever said you were built for strength. You look like a weight lifter, not a marathon runner. But hey, you finished so obviously looks can be deceiving. Congratulations!
