The absurdity is funny, yet it also works as a mental trick, since telling yourself a distance is no big deal helps you keep going. The meme blends a runner's self-mockery with forced optimism. People use it before a long run, in front of a daunting race, or to play down a commute, a chore or a pile of work they keep postponing.
