Peel, sip, collect. Welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. And today we're going to save your

marathon because maybe a marathon shouldn't just be 26.2 miles. Maybe that is too

confining. And for those of you who've ever run a marathon, you know, it's no small feet.

That's why it's on people's bucket list. Like going to Machu Picchu. Like it's a really hard thing to

do. It's hard to get to. And then once you're in the middle of it, it can be painful.

I've only run one marathon. I did it in 2013. I ran the New York City Marathon and I broke my foot

at mile 22 and ran on it for three miles. So at the end of the race, I was in a lot of pain.

And as you know, I do a lot of half Iron Man distance triathons.

And I like the half marathon. I'm not going to lie, the half marathon at the end of the race,

it's a relief because you're out of the water, you're off the bike, and you can just check off

the miles one at a time. Marathons to me are, I have a mental block. They are overwhelming. I grew up in a

house where my dad was a marathon runner, qualified for the Boston, had a couple of sub-three-hour

races in his 40s, which to me is very impressive. I did not inherit his fast running gene. I oftentimes run like a

dying cow and it's really, really hard for me to run faster. My body naturally wants to run slow and

I have discussions with it. I try to rationalize. I try to lecture and it doesn't necessarily work.

But now, at this point in the season, I'm about to do my last half Iron Man of the

year.
