Just had a female friend finish her first marathon in 3:38. I think that's pretty damn impressive. She ran steeplechase in college.
Too many people "run" marathons and think finishing them is some sort of super human feat. It's not. Most are overweight and shouldn't be running anyway. If that many overweight people can finish a marathon, why do people consider it impressive? I could literally finish faster than most of them at a walking pace. Not impressive.
