It’s awesome running a marathon with a cheering crowd, because the signs you see are super funny and creative.
“Why do the hot ones always run away”
“If you collapse I’ll pause your Strava”
“Hit this mushroom for a power up”
“Only 41 kms to go!”
There’s even the classic “Insert Motivational Message Here”
But my favourite sign I saw when I ran this year’s Sydney Marathon was, “Remember, you paid for this!”
To me, it read the same as, “Remember, you chose this!”
Which isn’t just a useful reflection when you’re running a marathon, but also when you’re living life.
