Living in Boston this week and last week I've heard nothing but talk about the marathon, people who ran, people who want to run yada yada.
But honestly, I get that you ran a marathon, I get that it's an achievement, but GET OVER YOURSELF.
Anyone can run a marathon. There are even movies about it! Call me when you can hit a 90 mile an hour fastball or build a rocket to mars and we'll talk

I like to imagine Chris Jericho clotheslining all of them.

There needs to be a group meeting for innocent civilians who were attacked by wrestlers. Stan can be the chairman. |

Running a marathon is a big deal, they should be allowed to brag.

Running a marathon is a big deal, they should be allowed to brag. Running the 26 miles is a big deal, but the vast majority of the people who participate (and most of the people who brag about "running a marathon") only run the first 5-6 miles, which is something that everybody can do after some months of training. |

^ Everybody?
Heh. You could train me all you want; there's no way in hell I could even run a quarter-mile.

Chicago is the same way, seems like almost every year the Chicago Marathon is always scheduled when the Bears have a home game. Lake Shore Drive is crap enough without throwing the Bears into the equation.  |

I'm hoping I can make it next year and believe me: I will be a braggart. It is quite an achievement and you are obviously jealous. Get over yourself.

I just think the idea of thousands of people chasing a Kenyan through the streets of Boton is wrong.

I just think the idea of thousands of people chasing a Kenyan through the streets of Boton is wrong. Well if he'd slow down, then they could chase somebody else.  Seriously though, as a former collegiate cross country runner, running a full marathon is ridiculously hard unless your in insane shape. To see some of these guys averaging sub 4:30 miles for 26 miles makes me want to break down and cry. |

I have to say, I very much doubt that's the case with Boston. To even qualify for Boston, I'd have to prove that I finished the marathon in 3:40. I don't think anyone but a world-class racewalker could manage that. |

"after some months of training" means that they trained to achieve something and even if it's small, it's something to be proud of. A lot of people (myself included) can't run five or six miles. |

I guarantee you I could hit a 90-mph fastball way easier than I could complete a marathon.
