Hah--they're still running twice as fast as me. My marathon time would probably be six or more hours. I'm hoping to be under 2:45 half marathon but not sure it'll happen!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I actually was coming in her to say: I think I need to bring in a tape measure to see what is 20 feet away from me for me to look at when it's time to give my eyes a break. And maybe put something decorative there, if I can. Trying to eyeball it, as it were, does not fill me with confidence. Not that precision is really needed, but I like precision.

Just what I was thinking, meara! Although I imagine I would slow down even from my usual slow pace over that distance.

My marathon time would be about four DAYS because I don't see walking more than about six miles in a day, even if it's from theme park attraction to theme park attraction.

Punishingly Intricate
My marathon time was something like 7 hours--partially because I'm naturally slow and, also, my friend and I did 2 minute walk/run splits the whole time. Also, it was at Disney so we stopped and took our picture at all the mile markers with the characters cheering us on (or, in the case of the Animal Kingdom bit, stopping to take a picture of my friend "racing" the giant tortoise). Good times!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am guessing I would take close to 8 hours.

Having a wall of windows looking out over a valley and a lake with mountains fifteen miles away makes it easy. Though I tend to stare at the houses in the subdivision just down the hill, looking to see which garages are open.

My college, as part of its May Day celebration, would have a hoop race (girls in white pushing hoops as they ran down a hill ... quite decorative). One year, I borrowed a hoop from someone who wasn't running ... I twisted an ankle and, by the time I finished, everyone else had packed up and left.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's 87 fucking degrees F here in mid-April. This summer is going to be hellish.

"Nor do airlines charge travelers additional money for the meals that they are served during flights."
American Airlines sure does. I was irritated.
For first class passengers? I thought that was the point they were making, that in other industries paying for the premium usually buys other perqs with it.
