The latter point is the reason I'm doing it. I want to be able to appropriately scoff and roll my eyes the next time I hear someone talk about marathon running (which I can only do after running one).
I'm running a marathon out of spite for marathon runners. If I, the guy who never ran more than 3 miles straight in his life, can just pop in out of nowhere, train for a while and run one, then it's not really an accomplishment at all, now is it?
This is what I aim to prove.
