UltraRunning
Ultrarunning is a hobby of mine, which can technically be defined as running a race longer than a typical 26.2 mile marathon. While running any ultramarathon is tough, if you train smart, they can be a lot of fun. Nothing feels better than running the last 5 miles of an ultramarathon - its a combination of the pain that you go through followed by the joy of finishing something that takes determination, or something along those lines.
I have always told myself that I need to come up with a list of marathons and ultramarathons that I have run to date before I begin to lose count, so here goes nothing:
