Yeah, at least around here it's a status thing. Time to train= enough $ for childcare and stylish gear and not having to work all the time, I think. Then they get a cute "26.2" bumper sticker for their car so everyone knows (or 13.1 if they've done a half marathon)

But regardless of the social crap, major respect for being able to run that far...
