A twice-monthly column on running from Michael Tsai. Something happens to the brain after that first 26.2-miler.

Ask Mark and Paris Kippen. Mark is a longtime runner with a couple of marathons under his elastic. His daughter, Paris, ran her first marathon last December with a teacher from her high school. This February, Mark and Paris hopped a couple of planes, a ship and a Russian ice boat on their way to a marathon in Antarctica. Mark learned of the ominously nicknamed Last Marathon through a small ad in the back of a magazine.
