    As we learned from the parable of the tortoise and the hare. It’s not how fast you run the race, but whether you can finish it alive.

    As someone had already commented, it is not about speed but endurance. Just how long this flight of fancy will be endured will the question.

    Instead of walking around telling everyone he’s going to run one…maybe he should just run around the block a few times for practice.

    The only way I would run 26 miles, as if something was behind me, chasing me, ready to bite my @$$ off. After a few miles, I’d think, “You know, I really don’t need an @$$.”

    For me I am not a runner. If I dog is out loose and growling at a distance I stop and wait before about face and leaving. Oh I do report on dog if not on leash.Church I go to we have a young Lead Pastor who is high energy and loves to run. He competed in a grueling marathon. The night of the marathon it rained and made the marathon even more grueling and muddy.

    @tygrkhat40You don’t need to be one either; stop teasing the thing behind and face it down. The worse that would happen is that you would be out of our misery.

    Well, I run 1/2 a Marathon a week, I do it in three stages! So at that pace it takes me two weeks to run a full Marathon. USN 65-95

    I used to run 6.5 miles a night (about 1/4 marathon) – I kind of worked the noon to midnight shift, so I ran at 1 AM.

    I tried doing it during the day once, I had to stop at about a mile and a half. The heat was getting to me. I don’t do well over 75 degrees.
