...then surely I can run one, right????
And certainly those of you who are struggling with your weight loss or exercise goals can take the next step towards meeting those, right?
Well, that's what Belgian Runner Stephan "Marathon Man" Engels believes, and I do too. Engels was diagnosed with asthma early in life and was told by doctors he shouldn't participate in sports. Ha! I guess he showed them! As a personal challenge to himself, and, he says, "to inspire people by showing... that anyone could run or bike a little each day or do something about their weight problem", Engels ran one marathon a day for one year - that's right, 365 marathons in 365 days.
So...surely I can run one, right???
