As with animals though, some of us are more anatomically challenged than others. I would say a very small % of the population would be unable to run a long distance due to how they're built and that desk jobs and sedentary lifestyles are to blame for the rest. <br /><br />Also, great picture choice at the top of your blog. 6 pack abs.
