If you've ever run a race or competed in some sort of event, you might understand this post. My mom emailed me an article about the West Lafayette Circular Logic Marathon . Is it crazy to even consider signing-up for this event? The website makes it sound so fun (and it's cheap for a marathon), you forget that the race is a one-mile loop that you run 26 times!
