I am very excited for him and can't wait to go down to see him cross the finish line. I have been Googling 6ok runs to see how long he will take (he thinks 8 - 9 hours - but what if he comes in earlier and I miss him?! Hence, the Googling).
Turns out a pretty good runner will do it in 8 hours. At least this guy did. Wearing these insane shoes I have never heard of called Vibram Five Fingers (see picture above). Wow.
Turns out, human beings are very good at running long distances, and used to do it to catch prey (they chased the prey until the animal dropped down dead from exhaustion / heat stroke). Wow again!
Seiji is just wearing the shoes the Shoe Clinic recommended for him.
Speaking of running forever, do Sea Monkeys ever stop swimming?

Did he do it!?!
ReplyDeleteHi Dec! Yes - he did it and recovered remarkably well. The man is built for it - not too tall, slim, and psychologically strong.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...sounds like something you could do too Dec?!
