After finishing the first 20 miles in 2 hours and 50 minutes, I hit a nasty headwind and my legs totally gave out on me. I literally had to will my body through the (much slower) last 6 miles. But I ran a marathon. Mission complete!

Let NOTHING stand in your way.
I should do one of these sometimes. Marathons are pretty tough to get started on, but they seem pretty satisfying.

"I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."
That is so cool. I joined a gym 3 or so months ago and have been running each time I go (I average 2-3 times a week; I try for 3). My fastest mile so far is 9:40 and I haven't yet run more than a mile at a time. I did do, one time, four sets of 5 minutes at 6 miles an hour, so I ran 2 miles in 20 minutes with 3 30-second breaks. I envy your marathon-capable legs!
The only Marathons I like are the kind with Vent Cores.

Jordan, quoting Genesis 2:18: "It is not good for man to be alone."
Fred: "in genesis noah also put two of every animal on a boat when he was 600."
I once did a pullup.

Willis, it seems like every other time you post, I need to look up a word that's in the OED or Urban Dictionary but not both.
