Many friends and colleagues of mine had participated in the marathon on Sunday. Some of them even finished the whole race. This is not a simple callenge. Finishing the whole race is already someting to be applauded. Long distance running actually is an interesting sport. Very often it is used as a comparison to things related to life. My point of view is that in running we don't necessarily have to win at the line, and even if we fall, that doesn't mean we'll lose. Life is long distance running. What is required is perserverance and improvement.
