Absolutely ridiculous. There’s a simple solution, and it’s the same as for marathons. Make it a crime to speak — boast — of one’s participation in a marathon or Everest ascent upon pain of death. The only reason people do these things is in order to boast of it. “Yeah, I’m training for the House of Pancakes Marathon.” Instant arrest and death penalty.
Why do you consider this a problem you need to solve?
Maybe you should re-read what posted...
If it still sounds rational...
Get a mental health evaluation...
Not all. Some of us marathoners choose discretion ;-)
Kramer did the AIDS walk. I don’t think he’ll boast too much about it.(:V)
“The only reason people do these things is in order to boast of it.”
Having run 3 marathons that’s not the case.
“The only reason people do these things is in order to boast of it.”
Says the keyboard warrior . . .
I always considered people who run marathons, as people who never read the end of the story... but that’s just me.
So, it would be a crime for me to mention that I ran Boston in under three hours? Achieved a goal through hard work and dedication? Kill me now!
