So my friend Jake is running a marathon. Also, my biology teacher runs marathons on a very regular basis. i cannot understand how someone can run 26.2 miles. Twenty six point two miles. I thought a 5k race was intensely long. I was pushing my body pretty far to run that far for cross country. I cannot understand how ones body can be capable of running that far. Also, the mental capabilities of a person that can run that far. How can they not think theirselves our of running that far? I'm totally going to run a marathon when I'm older. Mr. Wilcox, you might have to remind me senior year. But I totally will.
