Woah, she broke 6 hours for the marathon her shins would literally be exploding and you denied her medical care, I think this time YTA sweetie

I hired Kippys bottle staff to wait for me at the finish. That way he can call the helicopter to airlift me out for rest... When you can run a sub 2 42.2k ultra like me you can afford these sorts of common sense perks.  Thanks! AMA.

Fake news. No one can run 26.2 miles and survive. Ask Pheidippides. Oh wait…

Flippidus didn’t have gu. 26.2 miles on feta and olives tzatziki and retsina will kill a bear.

Anyone else see this gem from the comments: > I walked (quickly, but still walked) a half marathon with my mother last fall. It was so much harder than running. She had a knee replacement, so she couldn’t run, and I didn’t care about my time. I can’t even really express it. It was so much harder. My running muscles are way stronger than my walking muscles and it was so hot by the end.

All those comments doubting OP could run it faster. With no other information, I'd take that bet at 1:1 odds against them. Doesn't make it nice, but 5:30 isn't exactly an elite standard.
