Running Humor #5

Marathon. A popular form of overpriced torture wherein participants wake up at ass-o-clock in the morning and stand in the freezing cold until it's time to run, at which point they miserably trot for a god-awful interval of time that could be better spent sleeping in and/or consuming large quantities of beer and cupcakes. See also, masochism, awfulness, a bunch of bullshit, boob chafing, cupcake deprivation therapy.
