noun
a long-distance running race, strictly one of 26 miles and 385 yards (42.195 km).
a long-lasting or difficult task or operation of a specified kind.
A marathon is not always running. I like the second definition. I enjoy mental marathons, where I find some obscure topic to study in depth. My marathons can last a month or more just in personal challenges to gain knowledge.
