Hah!!
I ran (an completed) a marathon last year. Would challenge anyone who thinks it’s just “running down a street” to try it!
Next time you drive; set your odometer to 0 and then watch it get to 26 miles and ask yourself if you could run that far in 3 to 6 hours.
Running is a great thing to do. Taking control of ones health and fitness is why many of us like doing it.

“Running is a great thing to do. Taking control of ones health and fitness is why many of us like doing it.”

Don’t forget the elitist attitude. You know the same
attitude the bicycle enthusiasts get when they have to block
the whole road. It’s like “what can I do to make my self
better than everyone else”? “I know, I’ll be a jogger
snob and feel just as proud as a Prius owner.”

“Would challenge anyone who thinks it’s just “running down a street” to try it!”

No thanks, I have a life.

And pounding your leg joints into an early grave is really smart.

Running is the quickest way to knee replacements and twisted ankles. Have fun...while you can. Back to my point. I could care less about people running down a street if they are not even raising money for a charity.
