Well I think we can all guess what's going to happen
Darth - unsuccessful, Mrs Darth - oh shit.

So will she actually go ahead with it if she's successful? Or will you be donning a blonde wig and comedy breasts to take her place for the event?

Hahaha... NO
If we both get in, she'll work fucking hard so we can do it together. If it's just me, I'll give it a go. Just her, and she'll skip the country for the whole of April

That's a disgraceful attitude
If she gets in on her own she should just go for it. Who am I kidding, I'd run a fecking mile. Just one though - another 25 would be ridiculous.

I can't really fathom long distance runners. There's a guy who plays five-a-sides with us who does marathons - he's out running all the time, at the gym etc, obsessed. However, he runs the length of the hall at fives and he's bent over wheezing like Monty first thing in the morning. What's that all about?

Belting down a hall is a different prospect from running long-distance at your own pace
but nonetheless, if he can run a marathon he should be fitter than that.

I have little interest in long distance running per se, but would quite like to have a marathon under my belt. I'm just doing it to lose weight

Ah I see
I'd maybe give a 5 or a 10K a shot, but essentially running bores the hell out of me. This is my main problem.

I'd rather play cricket, footie, basketball etc, and occasional trips to the gym.

I quite agree, in principle
but the gym costs money and team sports require a team!

The keys to enjoying a run are good tunes, nice scenery and sunshine.

I live in Scotland, so 2 out of 3 of those are off the agenda!

Nonsense
Scotland has some good bands...

*struggles to think of good Scottish band*

You can listen to non-Scottish bands!
