13.1 26.2 140.6

I don't know about where you live, but I see these stickers all over town. 13.1 is the number of miles in a half marathon. 26.2 is a full marathon. 140.6 is the number of miles in the iron-man triathlon. People here in our city can get competitive. Those who train for a half / full marathon seem to develop a sort of "addiction" to the competition. They enjoy beating their personal best time. They train with other athletes, often year round. They are driven to sucede. They spend lots of money on gym memberships, personal trainers, and running clothes / shoes. So you can imagine how strange it was when I saw a 0.0 sticker. The driver of this SUV wanted everyone to know that he had NOT run any marathons or even half marathons. He was content to say "I don't run, and I'm proud of it."
