It's hard to believe from the current state of my right knee, but when I was in my 20s, I was a runner. When my friends Eddy and Ellen got married, they made a three-day weekend of it in Burlington, Vt., … and got every wedding guest who was interested to run with them in the marathon.

The Burlington Marathon is special in that you can run as a relay team, so I got the "marathon experience" of people lining the streets cheering my achievement while all I actually did was to run a 5K.
