   Wish they would name it by the distance and stop trying to shoehorn the word marathon into it.

   So I hear you ran a “10k”…

   No it was a mini marathon actually.

   Ah yes, of course it was. (sigh)

      What’s the problem with the use of the word marathon here? Real question, btw.

         It’s a wording wonderbra.

         A marathon is a specific distance event.
         While it makes no difference in real terms, it can be irksome to people who actually run marathons.
         It’s similar to me calling myself Doctor when I have a fetac level 5 First Aider cert.

            Technically you’d need to call yourself a Mini-doctor… but I see your point.

               That term may also upset Volkswagen mechanics.

            Good answer. I did this FUN-RUN a few years back and that’s exactly what it is; enormous fun! Having folk talk about their ‘personal best’ seemed so inappropriate afterwards as we all did it for charity and camaraderie. I admire the really dedicated runners that train so fastidiously though – of course a ‘mini-marathon’ is part of that training….so kudos to all that enter ;)

   marathon is 26.2 miles.
   A mini marathon is the old name for a fun size snickers!

   Is this a bot you talk to, so it’ll tell you jokes? This is an odd development

      Brings a whole new dimension to talking out of your bot, don’t it?
