Is a marathon damn cool?

If you achieve a marathon in the USA than you are among 600.000 other marathon finishers and more than 2.000.000 worldwide in a year.
The world population is around 7,5 milliards people. So only 0,03 % of people are crossing the finish line during a year.
So finishing a marathon is extraordinary. But if we take the race time into account you can decrease  the percentage further and than you can claim to be strong ... and insensate.

Never forget a marathon is still extreme sport and completely unhealthy. If you success your mind feels strong, but your body is damaged. Luckily we can recover again, but not always.
