The first question out of every Thais mouth about the marathon is 'Did you win.' It's kinda depressing to answer no, not because I was no where close to winning, but because this thing that means so much to me is so misunderstood. I never had any intention of winning and didn't train and run the marathon to try to win, of course.
But in a culture where, when out on a run, I often have someone pull up besides me and ask if I want a ride, I should know by now that the Thais don't get the running thing.
