If you've ever been close to somebody who loves long-distance running or it is something that you love yourself, you will know it's a pastime that people can get pretty intense about. It makes sense; it takes real dedication and practice to be able to maintain a steady pace over many miles. It's also no surprise that it can become competitive. It is a form of sport, after all.
However, most runners still expect to share a sense of camaraderie, especially if it's something that they do with friends. This was exactly the opposite of what one woman did when her friend proposed that they wanted to run a marathon with her following an injury that meant they couldn't spend time on their favorite hobby, climbing. This led to her saying and doing a series of highly unreasonable things that the internet was baffled by. What do you mean, you don't want to spend time with a loved one doing something that you enjoy?
