Of course I am not a marathoner, and would be curious to see if I go any lower when training for one. I also recall seeing a great episode of The Nature of Things (a Canadian discovery channel type show) about body types and debunking the whole BMI obsession to a degree. This prof, 5'3" and 210lbs, was talking about how THAT was the ideal body weight for him and nobody could believe that he ran marathons. Instead, he said his ancestors originated in northern Russia and were obviously built for that atmosphere, to guard towers and such.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, interesting post. Continue gorging! And "Waiter!
