    Not only grueling but it sounds boring. If I wanted to run the same city block over and over again, I can just run my own.

    Wow, that is absolutely insane... I'll be happy to get 3100 miles in my lifetime :-) I thought the guys who do marathons every day for some set amount of time were crazy, and never understood how their bodies could take that punishment, but 60+ miles every day????? For 51 days?????

    Holy cow! And I thought my monthly 150 mile challenges on EndoMondo were hard to flippin' meet. I'm still only up to 3 miles/day, and those require 5.8/day to meet...I can't imagine getting to 60!

    I want to know why they're only doing 1 city block. Talk about bbbbbboooorrrriiiingggg...
