My old boss used to run 12 miles before work each day. He had 3 jobs, worked 7 days a week, and averaged 80 hours on the job. Some people are just insane.

Without double-checking, comedian/actor Eddie Izzard ran 43 consecutive marathons, with a day or two of rest between each, or thereabouts, and he's not a runner, though not inactive, but still...:erm:

Argh, I get tired just by reading that. When did he sleep? :weird:
Maybe I'll try a bubbly-drinking marathon.

Anyway, it was an amazing feat for an amateur runner and pretty risky too. Kudos, Eddie.
