Canadian Martin Parnell is attempting a huge goal. 250 marathons in the year 2010!! The best thing about it is that he has raised and is still raising money to reach a goal of $250K to support the charity Right to Play for kids. His plan is to do 5 marathons a week! That is some serious determination! What a great story! A guy who is doing what he loves: running, all the while supporting a good charity that he believes in.
As I become more and more involved in my training and what exactly it means to become a part of the running community. The more I read, listen to podcasts and observe, the more inspiring stories and lives I come across. These types of stories are just what I need to keep on my schedule and work towards my own, small, but substantial for me, goals!!
3.5 miles on the mill came easy today. I played around with speedwork a little bit. Nothing too heavy, but it helped to make the time go faster.

ReplyDeleteWow! That is amazing! i can't imagine! I struggle to hit 30 miles a week! Much less 100!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I just go up and down for each song on my Ipod it makes it go faster. I "can't" look at my distance run for so many songs or take a walk break for so many songs. Whatever it takes on the treadmill to survive it.
ReplyDeleteWow what a lofty goal! Best of luck to him!
