Jul 4, 2026, 7:30 AMA marathon is impressive.
A slow marathon is impressive.
Walking parts of a marathon is still impressive.
What’s not impressive is saying:
“5 hours?”
from the sideline like your knees did anything today.
The distance is still 26.2 miles / 42.2K.
The clock does not make the course shorter.
Fast runners suffer hard.
Slower runners suffer longer.
Respect both.
