Marathon running as an EC?

Ditto what cpraf104 wrote – I think that if you turn your marathon running into another “oh, I raised money to save a child in Africa” it then becomes less authentic to you (OK, for those who know my postings, “authentic” is my buzz word…). Do what is right for you – marathon running is AbSOLUTELY an extracurricular. Who cares if you didn’t get a medal. Under the “details/honors” – give a brief description about how you plan your training leading up to the marathon (that takes organization and dedication) and how many hours/miles a week you tend to run…) Be true to yourself and worry less about how many ECs you have on your app or how another kid built a water windmill in Kenya. Good luck!!!
