In the past few months, you've likely run on your treadmill until the belt broke, rented “Without Limits” I've times, and read “Once A Runner” over and over while you waited for the snow to melt. And while the first storm may have seemed fun at the time, by the sixth storm in six consecutive weeks, I know the cabin fever was reaching a peak at my house.

However, if you’re hoping to run a marathon so you can lose weight or brag about it to a coworker, you probably won’t stick with it.
