McRunner

One of the Tweeps I follow on twitter is Chicago Tweet.  I admit, I like to know what’s happening in my former stomping ground.  One of their tweets caught my eye: “‘McRunner’ trains for marathon by eating only McDonald’s”.  I thought there was no possible way this could be possible.  I know when I run, I like my bananas, pasta, greek yogurt-not big macs, fries and Coronary Artery Disease on a plate.

I head over to the “McRunner Trains for Marathon Eating Only McDonald’s” and for 30 days (until March 20th when he runs the LA Marathon), sure enough, 3 meals a day at McDonald’s.  Granted, he’s running for the Ronald McDonald Charity Foundation, so it seems only fitting, but I’m getting flashbacks to the  ‘Supersize Me’ Documentary of a few years ago.  He claims that he can do it since he runs 100 miles a week, but there has to be some sort of dietary component missing to his diet…

Not only is he doing a McBlog, he also has a McRunner Facebook page.  Kudos to him for running for charity, but it makes me nauseous just to think about it…
