Why did you run a marathon? Was there a Calgary marathon? What was your time?

Trying to debate with all the crazies here on the forums!
In all seriousness, I would have to say either the hundred knuckle pushups I had to do in kindergarden, in front of my Tae Kwon Do class and instructor (I also had to do fifty at one point). Or my 6 hour tackle football marathon with no pads in 90 degree heat. I was exhausted after both of these.

Training for a grading
I did 2hrs session martial arts, then continued to train through the break then another 2hrs session. Then we did sparing where I cut my hand and got kicked in the nades. (Luckly I havent had any face injuries cause there much more common. remembers how someone got a finger into hes eyeballs which pushed it way in and amublance had to come)

I edited my post face injuries are more common. I've see a few people getting kicked in the nades only once has it been bad. The other injury is from being throw full body down onto wooden floor. (which were to avoid as dont do much grappling, mostly stand up spar)
Other then that usual punchs and kicks which were told to toughen yourself up. Usual by the end with some sore all over. people turning up with injuries next day and cant sparr.

Either:
-A 2 day, 13-15 hr. (approximately) paintball bonanza, complete with running up hills, sprints for cover, lots of shooting, adrenaline, all that good stuff. Very exhausting, but verrrrry fun.
-A 5 hour tennis match.
-A 23 hour day in which I ran, lifted weights and then played paintball. Quite the day that was.
All these experiences remind me that yes, people do need to sleep.

I am training for the Calgary marathon on July 9.
I am probably going too far in preparation, but it feels good. It took me about 4 hours. I am shooting for a 3:55 marathon (which is 1.2km longer than what I ran).
Hmmm...
Time I walked 20 miles for the Walk America thingy back in the early 80s. I was about 12.
Then there was the 30 mile bike ride. That wasn't fun.

Tree Planting in Manitoba.
5am: You wake up. It's till dark. You open your tent. You notice Frost on the ground. You put on 6 pound work boots.
5:15: Eat breaky. Make lunch. Drink coffee.
5:30: Hop in van and drive 30 mins with your crew. Sun's beginning to rise.
6:00: Hop in a swamp buggy and squeltch through mud for 30 mins to a clear-cut.
6:30: You arrive at your piece. It's ****. logs are piled up and young poplars about waist high are growing everywhere. you bag up 250 trees(50 pounds). and plant them in just under an hour.
7:30: repeat.
8:30: repeat
9:30 repeat
10:30: 1250 trees in the ground. Chug water, eat orange have a smoke.
10:45 begin to plant another 1000 trees.
11:00: You're slowing down. The mosquitoes are getting really bad. Good thing you have 100% deet to deter half of them.
3:45pm: finish planting next 1000 trees. It's sweltering hot now. Chug water. eat two sandwiches. have a ciggy.
4:15: plant the last 100 trees in your piece only to find that you have to move to the other end of the clearcut to finish.
4:45 Begin trudging 2k along dusty clearcut road.
5:30: Arrive. Wait for crewboss for 30mins to tell you where to plant. Crew boss arrives and informs you to plant there and that there is no fresh water left on the clearcut.
6:00: Begin planting again. (you were supposed to have been finished an hour ago). Just alittle more to go.
6:45 supervisor arrives tells you that you have to finsh this clearcut today. (Aparrently the swamp buggy cost's a little more to rent than they budgeted). SOOOOOOO thirsty!!!!
8:00 Sun's begining to set. Youre knackered. You can't physically plant anymore trees and swamp water is looking mighty potable right now. Mosquitoes are sucking you dry but you couldn't care less. Your grand total around 2600 trees. 260 dollars.
9:30pm:Get back to camp. Take off your boots, which have parctically fused to your feet, eat and go to bed.

5:00am get up and hope today is a little bit better.

Drum Corps Tour. Two years in a row starting the middle of june to middle of august. Practicing 12 hours a day holding up a 10 lbs (15-20 lb angular weight because it was bell heavy) marching euphonium and burning 3000-6000 calories a day. Practicing and performing in the cool pacific northwest to the dry 120 head of Arizona to the humid 100 degree east coast. I did that for three years.
I miss it.

There are two candidates for me: first is New Cadet Week in the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets, which was pretty much a week of boot camp in the 100 degree summer heat that Blacksburg somehow manages to get, despite being in the mountains; the other one would be a Lacrosse tournament, again, in the heat. i was first string midfield in two of four games that day, the other two i was second string, because i pissed off the coach. both of these experiences were still fun, though, i just felt like crap when i was done
EDIT: oh, and w00t to the post above me, croxis, for rockin the Marching Euph, i did that for four years, probably could've mentioned the summer TOBs, but i think the two i said were 'worse'

My most tiring workout ever was running five miles in seventh grade for football. We needed three weeks of conditioning before we could get pads and I only had two weeks four days so for the first day with pads I had to run.
Recently, it's been my football practices. We lift weights for an hour, then practice for two hours. It isn't very tiring, but that's because I'm in good shape
. I'd say playing a rugby game at forward is much more tiring than football.

I'd say the New York Marathon in Nov 2001, both because it was a marathon and because of the emotions surrounding it because of the timing. A group of us flew in from Kuwait. We had just been to ground zero and visited a few fire stations the day prior to include seeing the mayor speak. I've had far more grueling physical experiences, but none with the same emotions attached.

Getting up with my friend every morning at 5:00 A.M in the summer for month. He was helping my get good at guitar so we could just jam on equal grounds and so we could play in a band mayby. We woke up, drew a style to play out of a hat and we would play for 12 hours straight. It was horrible, but man did we sound good for the talent show next year(well, he was already good).
