5 pounds = 5 minutes
As I was checking out a fellow runner's blog, they said in a recent article that 5 pounds extra adds 5 more minutes on your marathon time. That is shocking to me! I have no illusions that it's easy to run with all this extra weight, but that right there is a pretty good motivation to be more careful what I eat!

Not sure it's that certain about five pounds = five minutes, but who wants to carry the equivalent of a bag of sugar around for 26.2 miles?
I always heard that one pound of weight loss = 10 miles of running. That is a favorite that I carry around!
