I’ve never really understood the attraction of the so-called “mega” marathons, those 26-mile moving masses of humanity that snake through city streets. Sure, there’ a lot of energy and excitement, but when you get to the running part, where is the fun? Waiting for hours before the start? Standing in a long line for a porta-john? Battling your way to the start and then wiggling around dozens of runners every time you try to pick up the pace? Negotiating a forest of arms and legs just to get a drink at an aid station?

Running in Sunday's overheated Chicago Marathon, Robin Gault didn't get any water until mile six or Gatorade until mile 10.
And like thousands of other runners, she wasn't allowed to finish.
