Alice in Runderland

I'm training for the New York City Marathon! Am I going to be able to pull this off? Why the sudden question? Am I merely out of practice in believing in impossible things?

Alice laughed. “There’s no use trying,” she said. “One can’t believe in impossible things.”

“I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
