    Nope, I'm really not. That said I did ride a century earlier this summer and could probably ride a metric century today if I wanted to.

    No, but I don't run unless something bad is chasing me...but I do cycle quite a bit and hit the weight room.

    Yes, running one tonight if the weather holds.

    Not today. But I’m running 3.5 of them at once tomorrow.

    I’m unsure what this means for my health status though.

    I can't do a 5k without taking a break.

    My easy run this morning was 10K. Tomorrow's long run will be 22k. Not sure what I'm doing Sunday (probably 10K or more). Does that make me healthy?

    I probably can, ran 5 miles this morning and felt as if I could have kept going.

    Not quite ... but I did a 10K event in January and could get there again pretty quickly. In fact, I've got an eye on events in September.

    That said, as I'm a cyclist, even though I haven't ridden a long distance since March, I have done quite a bit of short distance riding and could probably hop on and ride a century (100 miles) ... maybe even a 200K.

    However, I guess that means I'm not healthy??

    I ran 10K down the side of a mountain today...

    I can run 13 miles (7 more miles than a 10 k), but I'm still 20 lbs overweight. I have questions regarding the logic of OP. I guess I'm healthy? I could be healthier?

    With a torn meniscus in my left knee, plus the osteoarthritis? Certainly not.

    I'd cheerfully row, bike, canoe, or kayak 10k . . . y'know, if we have to keep the distance that short for some reason.

    I could even walk it at around 4mph, though grudgingly, as long as I don't have to do it often, and can ice my knee after. ;)
