Whether these “marathons†are of the physical, mental, or silly variety, I can't help but wonder where the most ideal balance of discipline, exercise, focus, and boredom might be.
Obituary marathons on TV, funny running apparel, and bagpipes are amont the suggested twists to typical entertainment or physical marathons, for those that are looking to be a little more entertained by these already tiring feats.
Implications - Whether you are an outdoor marathon enthusiast or would rather enjoy your marathons on the television, you will surely find a marathon here that piques your interest. The many unusual marathons can be found all over the world in places such as the United States, the United Kingdom and India.
