Are You Sweating Away Your Joggling Glory?

What do you do after the longest run of your life?

Jay Gatsby and the Longest Run Recap

I gazed at the green light at the end of my cap.”I don’t think you’re going to need that”, she says smirking then adds seriously, “Just be careful. You’re nuts.”

According to them, women who have a normal level of activity (non-jugglers) only need to drink 2.2 liters. Men probably have to drink a little more.

Another Obscure Marathon Juggling Record

My sister told me about Abraham Munoz who is attempting to break the world record for juggling a soccer ball while running the Chicago Marathon. The current world record is 7:18:55 and was set by Dr. Jan Skorkovsky in the Prague City Marathon. Who knew?
