About this listen
I've decided that the creative arts are not for me. I still can't boil spaghetti and I think there's an arrest warrant out against me for public indecency. So onward now to a new challenge - running a marathon.
I've decided that there will be safety in numbers. And no matter how ridiculous I look in lycra, I can't look any worse than the guy in the galloping urinal, or the other guy dressed as a demented hen. Well, at least I hope not. Maybe I'll use them as pacemakers.
So I'll burst through that starting line full of enthusiasm, knowing I could beat a galloping urinal any day of the week. Or will I be in a one-woman race? I do have a track record for beating myself, you know.

Story
Pregnant and disgraced, soap opera star Laura Munro's life is in shambles. After 10 years of working her butt off in TV and movies, a rage-filled incident with an intrusive paparazzo threatens not only her career, but her dreams of becoming a documentary filmmaker. Hoping people will forget, Laura takes leave from her soap opera role and escapes to the small Catskill Mountain town of Love Falls. The public needs a break from her, and she needs a safe place to have her baby. She just didn't expect that "safe place" to be on the side of a deserted mountain road.

Story
Awkward teenager Hugo Whittaker doesn’t know a cross-trainer from an elliptical bike, but getting strong is the only way to fight off his bullies. Unfortunately, Hugo paid for his membership by stealing his mother’s credit card - and it doesn’t take her long to track down her wayward son. She reluctantly allows him to continue using the gym, as long as she can keep an eye on him - and his undeniably intriguing instructor. There’s just one little problem: his instructor has a huge secret she absolutely cannot tell anyone, and his mother knows she’s hiding something.

Bunny girls do not live in libraries. This is simply common sense. And yet, that’s exactly where Sakuta finds one in the wild. More bewildering is who the bunny girl is: Mai Sakurajima, a girl one year older than Sakuta, famous at their school for her acting career even though she’s currently on break. To top it all off, it seems like no one else in the library can see Mai at all, no matter what she does or...wears.

Not a believable story at all.
So this girl went from not exercising at all, to running a full 26.2 mile marathon in less than a month? That is so unbelievable as to be ridiculous. Maybe a 5k. As a fat runner myself oh, I know how much work is involved in running a full Marathon. there's no way she did it in a month. The story was more focused on the extracurricular relationships anyway but I found the story to be a mockery of marathon running.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
