Gee you ran 26.2 miles at one time. Is that hard? Sure. Does it mean much of anything? No.

On the kids' honor roll bumper stickers, I do have a bit of a different opinion though. I agree it comes across pretentious until you think about it from the 6 year old's point of view. He just got a good report card, he's proud, he sees other kids' moms with the bumper sticker on the car, and now he's earned it too. Are you as a parent going to tell him no?

If you did, you'd be a bigger douche than the parent who displays them proudly.

I agree with you on that. I was actually thinking that when people were slamming the honor roll bumper stickers. I think I remember pressuring my parents into putting one of mine on their car at one point and I think they resisted a little. As an adult, I can understand why they resisted; I don't really like bumper stickers, but when I'm a parent, I think I'll just put it on there so that my child can feel good about it.
