Greg, even though everything about "Steve" is almost certainly 100% fictional, he's still been one of your biggest supporters on this forum, and you always respond positively to him.

He happens to be right here -- you would really benefit from going all-in on the marathon, and with solid focus and honest effort, you could do well. It's a hugely positive life experience.

Why are you people pushing him to do a marathon? He won't. He's already dug himself a hole tha the can't get out of by crapping on anyone under age 40 who runs slower than 3 hours. At a minimum he can't run a marathon until he's 41 and expect to continue to post here. He will never break 3 hours in a marathon. He probably will never run one. Leave him alone about it.

Greg brought up the Marathon. He thought he would have run a great Marathon but he never tried. Since this is a running forum and we are uplifting other runners we just try to nudge him a little bit to get back into training and running goals. Running a Marathon could be one goal. It could be also running 10k in under 50 minutes. Whatever works.

I didn't dig myself in any hole, and my PRs that I set at 19 are far superior to a 3 hour marathon.

Quit making a big deal over something I said over a year ago. Jesus.

And the other poster is an idiot for saying I'm not an adult. Millions of adults use assistance and you are suggesting they aren't adults? F**king idiot you are.

I am an adult and can determine whether a marathon is something I want to do, especially so considering I've run thousands of miles. It's not necessarily a good idea because posters on Letsrun say it is. I can figure it out for myself thank-you.
