26.2 Reasons to run a marathon

This list was given to me by a dear friend when she found out that I was running my first marathon and I thought that I would share it with all of you!

26.2 Reasons to Run a Marathon

1. Because you've been eyeing a piece of apple pie and you need to
burn the calories.

2. To escape the flock of birds chasing you...in your mind :)

3. To show off your new shoes.

4. To chase the good looking Kenyans in front of you.

5. Check it off your bucket list.

6. Because you can.

7. Because a 10K is now a "short run."

8. Because a 1/2 marathon is a warm-up.

9. So you can carbo load.

10. Because who needs "free time."

11. Because your legs look good in shorts.

12. To get on TV.

13. So you can have a guaranteed PR.

14. Because the sound of cowbells in the morning make you giddy.

15. Because there is nothing better to do at 5am.

16. Because running a 100 miler seemed excessive.

17. So you can drink Stormy Nights.

18. Because eating the negative calories in celery has lost its
exercise appeal.
