How far would you make it in a marathon?


Me? Probably from the parking lot to the snack bar.

    I am an avid runner, I completed my last Half Marathon less than a month ago.  I plan to run ten kilometers on Saturday morning.

    I am not an avid runner but some are.  Are they illegals?

    And yet all the guilt foisted upon you for your past deeds are still not assuaged.  Keep running.

    I've never run it, but we have an annual, international event here called the Crim Festival of Races.  The longest race is 10 miles.  If I could run it, I'm reasonably certain I'd drop out at mile 5... that's "Beer Corner", where cups of beer are handed to the racers as they run past.  There is also "Champagne Corner" at mile 4.  :)

    Lol.... sounds like fun. And mile 5 is nothing to sneeze at! Nothing to sneeze at, weird expression.

    Ha ha...that is a weird expression.  I just went and looked up its origin and now it makes more sense.  The word our modern word "sneeze" derived from meant "to sneeze or snort", so the phrase is saying something is nothing to snort at (in derision).  

    Thanks Lyrical...I've learned something new today, I believe that earned me a beer!  ;)

    (Damn it!  Now I'm thinking about how similar "derived" and "derision" are, yet how different their meanings.) This post was edited by Bozette at September 14, 2017 2:00 PM MDT

  • I can bike for miles and miles without issue, but a marathon I'd hardly be able to begin. I'm not cut out for running.

    I can walk.  I don't run much but I can walk. 

    I used to walk MILES daily and think nothing of it.  So I still have those muscles somewhere.

    We just all met up this second at once.  It's been toooooo long.  How everyone must be waiting for us to entertain them. 

    (I am a legend in my own mind)
