Well, perhaps “takes over” is a bit of a stretch but there have been a few media outlets that were interested enough in the recent 50-mile joggling world record that they did
some interviews.
Joggling on TV
I have my sister to thank for setting this one up. She happened to know someone at the TV station and sent them a press release. The reporter Vince Gerasole and his camera person Lana were great to work with. I must’ve joggled up and down my street about 15 times. I wonder if I should count it towards my joggling total for the year? hmmm.
Anyway, to see the 2 minute TV story CLICK HERE!
Joggling on the radio
Last year I did a two-part radio interview on the Nick Digilio show. It was amusing and they told me to keep in touch. So, when I broke the record they were the first ones that I called.

What’s next
For the most part the joggling season is over this year. After you’ve spent a lot of time pursuing a goal and then achieving it, you might experience a little let-down. To get over these feelings you’ve just got to take a little break, then set new goals. Fortunately, I’ve still got the joggling streak and the goal to complete 44 marathons to keep me motivated.

That’s a great story Perry! Congrats on a great year, bro! Now, work on that triathlon!!
Nice report, Perry. Just makes sure for the triathlon that Gballz can get you some beanbags that float. It would suck to have to dive to the bottom of a lake to retrieve a drop.
hey just saw the video news story by searching on the net! congratulations! i can only run for 30 minutes and definetly not 8 hours of juggling with just 4 drops!! thats impressive!
You’re in Sports Illustrated too!! Yesterday on the plane my dad pulled a page out and and brought it up to us asking if this was our blogging friend…and it was!
I snapped a photo and posted it on my blog (via phone) before taking off. It’s a little blurry, but it’s you!!!
Congrats!!!!
Wow, that’s great! I heard from a couple of friends about the Sports Illustrated thing. I have no idea how that happened as no one contacted me. No matter, being mentioned in Sports Illustrated is really cool.
