Truman, I agree with your post but did have to ask you about this from your 
post (which is pasted below):

But if my goal were a marathon (to continue with your analogy) I wouldn't 
be jogging 5 to 10 miles 3x's a week, I'd be doing some program aimed for 
getting me ready for a marathon, right? So then doing the marathon 
shouldn't be a huge (possibly negative) shock to the system, right?

-Tina - who has NO plans of ever running a marathon or anything close to it.

Also if you were going out and jogging 5 to 10 miles three times a week, 
would you start in a marathon? If the first ride is a bad experience, like 
he is tired and sore afterwards because 50 miles is a long way, would he be 
real anxious to go do it again?
