That is so amazing!! People are amazing! Runners are amazing! What a true inspiration! I wonder what the world would be like if everyone captured their potential and didn't settle for the norm?

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for sharing, Charlie

Very impressive! The Falkland Islands are part of Antarctica?? It just seems geographically flawed somehow. I think he should do it again next week on clear-cut Antarctica just to be sure!

Wow!  A pretty amazing feat, to be sure.  And not one that many people would even consider duplicating. But the geography purist in me will not allow for calling the Falkland Islands part of Antarctica.   The main criteria for a continent is that it is one contiguous land mass.  That certainly doesn't diminish the significance of the accomplishment, though.  That's just plain incredible.  Talk to you soon.

Holy cow, this is amazing.  How do you even get through the jet lag to run a marathon seven days in a row?  Wow.
