Here’s an article that tells of the benefits of juggling. Joggling gets mentioned on page 2. Complete with quotes from this joggler.

November 12, 2007 – Sports Illustrated
On page 24 of this issue the joggling 50 mile world record time & other information is listed. This was a complete surprise. No picture (they ran a picture of a couple of dogs instead) and no online link, but I was really pleased to be mentioned in Sports Illustrated. That’s like for real athletes and the like.

This was an interview they did right at the end of the race. It’s not my best picture but it was fun to see in the paper. I especially liked that they have me juggling and 2 of the balls are in the air. (Click on picture to enlarge)

October 19, 2006 – Time Out Chicago Magazine
This joggling article was written by a free-lance writer (Susan Muskovitz) who happened to see me running along the lakefront path. She wrote about it in her blog and contacted me after I left her a comment. It was great fun to do the interview and the photo shoot.

March 2006 – Chicago Athlete Magazine

I didn’t know it at the time but someone took a picture of me running the Chicago Shamrock Shuffle and put it on the front cover of Chicago Athlete Magazine. I only found out about it when one of my friends told me they saw it.

October 2005 – Windy City Sports

A fun article in Windy City Sports magazine. They profiled a bunch of different people doing the marathon and someone tipped them off to my story. Back then the world record for joggling a marathon was 3:20:49. Oh, how times have changed.

October 2004 – Runner’s World

This is one of the first bit of press that I ever received. I was really happy to get this small write-up in Runner’s World. We did a photo shoot and everything. That was cool.

March 2004 – Chicago Sun Times

I don’t remember the date exactly but I got my picture in the Chicago Sun Times. I was training along the lakefront path and a photographer happened to be out there taking pictures. He was amused by me and snapped a photo for the newspaper. My mom was so proud.

Hi! just a follow up to my interview. Last year I joggled the New York Marathon and am getting ready to joggle it again in one week. I think that I am the oldest joggler to complete a marathon (I was 63 and finished in 5 hours 11 minutes and some 50 seconds). My goal this year is to do it in under 5 hours. Needless to say I am now older than I was last year so if I am right about being the oldest then I am hoping to break my own record. I will let you know what happens…..best wishes, jack

Hi Perry! Well I did manage to improve my time in the NY marathon by almost 20 minutes. I finished in 4:51:09. Best wishes, jack
