“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 if you work for FedEx or UPS you have to drive all the way around the city because the race cuts the city in half at Commonwealth Ave. Same for emergency personel not assigned to the Marathon. All mail boxes have also been locked since Thursday along the race route and side streets.

Wow a whole lot of assumptions in your post!
I just prefer to do things that increase my chances to not be sitting in a doctors office being treated for things that I could have a chance to prevent. I don’t really care about your opinion of me; or anyone else’s. I know what is best for me. Training for a marathon is WAY too much to do for some vanity purpose.
It takes a heck of a lot of work; and sucks at times.
My overall attitude is a conservatives attitude of self reliance and wanting to be left alone. Staying fit increases my chances of being self reliant; and not having someone needed to take care of me as I age. It wont guarantee anything; but it certainly helps the percentages.
