Today is the 2008 Fargo Marathon. Word is there will be 14,000 people involved. So I ask if 14,000 are running in it the degree of uniqueness to running a marathon is lost. Everyone is running.
It's like body art and nose rings to be unique. If every kid working at McDonalds has a nose stud and tat is there anything different? The more you copy others to be different the less you are.
Want to be different? Swim the Red River from Fargo to Oxbow. Bet you'll be the only one.
Run the marathon today? You just part of the crowd

"Not that unique at all" - WHO THE HECK ARE YOU TO SAY THAT? Running a marathon takes lots of training and hard work -- months leading up to it. Sorry if you think that too many people are commited to training - and that is becoming 'ordinary'. It is lot different than going to get your nose pierced. What do you want? People to only get recognized for freaky acts? I don't care if you walk it or run it, it still takes a lot of training, detrmination and hard work. WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
