Runner's World

Can I really be a runner if I don't run marathons?

Posted by simon on 3/3/2008 on simon's blog

Is it just me, or is the whole (non-running) world becoming obsessed with the marathon?
I guess when you get thousands of people running marathons for charity, and slow runners being hailed as super-heroes for "bravely" getting round 26.2 miles at barely above walking pace, everything else pales into insignificance. I won't start ranting. Suffice it to say that at the moment I am pinned in a non-running, non-athlete environment - and it comes a a bit of a shock when you live in Boulder.

Looking through their list, I was amazed to see such controversial items as “eggs” – “oranges” – “whole wheat bread”… and the kicker – “PASTA”… What are we in? Kindergarten?

Since runners are known to be a little particular when it comes to nutrition, please do share the most unique thing on your shopping list – I’ll go first…
