Holy Inspiration, Batman

The Pittsburgh Marathon was today, and it was so motivating. I've never run a race in my life, unless you count the Gino's Intracity Track Meet when I was in 4th grade, but just watching all of those people cross the finish line after accomplishing something so amazing is so inspiring.

I've heard some people say that, with the advent of ultramarathons, that the traditional 26.2 is no longer the accomplishment it used to be. I wholeheartedly disagree. Whether you're finishing at the front of the pack or are the last across the line, you went a distance most of us only do in our cars.

The power of the human body, when you put your mind to it, is astounding. It makes me wonder - could I ever be that strong?
