Why Marathon

Here are a few interviews with Umstead Marathon finishers:

Apparently this guy goes to marathons and asks people why they do it.

Wow, I had no idea I was so incoherent. With three and a half hours to think about it, I should have been ready to answer that question.

    Are you kidding? :) I'd say, pretty lucid for an unexpected interview and question right at the end of a marathon.

    Could have done much, much, worse: http://youtu.be/lj3iNxZ8Dww :)

    I'm supposed to enjoy these things? I'm doing something wrong.

    Well, if I had been asked the same question last year, I would have answered "Ahhhgg! My calf! Mother &^&%$!! Medic!!!"

    Great post! This race looks awesome. I'm definitely going to have to try to get in on this next year.
