Saying that you ran a marathon does not put you into an elite group of athletes. Lots and lots of people have run a marathon. I'm never impressed by anyone who tells me they've run one. In fact, most people I know who've trained for one have had to skip the race due to injury from training.<br /><br />Of course, I may be anti-marathon because my knees and back are bad enough that I can't run more than a few miles a week without bringing on lots of pain.JFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02925394206472218681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207539151126529738.post-77255142103529983142011-08-18T15:08:32.095-05:002011-08-18T15:08:32.095-05:00As someone who is currently training for a maratho...As someone who is currently training for a marathon I can tell you this: it doesn't go well with dating, drinking, socializing, hot weather, rainy weather, sore legs, and a lack of plenty of starbucks and mcdonalds to stop at (if you know what I mean). <br />Saying all that, I definitely think you should do it. Because you can, and I know you'll kick yourself in 20 years looking back at all your running without knocking that off your bucket list. I might take that back after Saturday, I've got 18...Mirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15608603157407322123noreply@blogger.com
