Are You Crazy?

When I tell people that I'm training for a marathon I get a lot of mixed responses. It varies from everything like...

• Wow, that is such a great goal to shoot for.
• I actually ran one a few years ago...good luck.
• That is great. What is the training like?

While the above list is some of the common responses by far the most popular is...

• Are you crazy? Why would anyone want to run that far?

Trust me. I understand why people say that response since a part of me has to laugh at running this far without someone chasing me with a knife.

This week I've been traveling for work and running on the treadmill at the hotel. There is nothing very exciting to report on in the running department so I figured the below eCards would be more funny and exciting than a boring treadmill story. They also tie into the general thoughts that most people have thinking running a marathon is crazy...
