My dad's running a half marathon today. It's thirteen miles. Right now, he's at the race, but we're still at home. his friend, Mark, ran in a lot of marathons. My dad, on the other hand, has only ran two. Even though he has been runnig for a long time, he's just started running in marathons. I've been in one,too. Well, actually, i didn't really run I walked, and, it was only a three mile run(or walk, for me). In the whole marathon, whoever comes in first place gets $15,000! Well, dad, good luck!
