    Is the wealth of Asics/New York City Marathon ads making anyone else realize they're simply not working out enough?

    With an ad featuring a handsome, glistening marathoner plastered on every wall of Union Square station and many a city bus, I've become suddenly aware I cannot run a 30-second mile. I am an athletic failure.

    Thanks a lot Asics/New York Marathon ads. You don't make me want to attend the marathon. You don't make me want to buy Asics. You make me want to eat my feelings.
