A marathon. Twenty-six point two miles between you and the finish line with only your legs and determination to close that gap. The ultimate test of the mind and running endurance (unless you count ultramarathons [External Link] , in which I have also dabbled). Below is a list of all the marathon distance or longer races I have attempted. Click on their name for a complete recap.
