By Cathleen]]> I would settle for being able to run that far at all!

By Adrienne]]> I don't think this qualifies as something people do while running, but I did once see a guy run an entire 10K barefoot! It was July, so he wasn't cold. But the race was on a mix of road, sidewalk, and dirt paths. Yuck. I thought maybe he was doing it to make a statement or something, like anti-war, or fight poverty, but he wasn't wearing any slogans, carrying a sign or saying anything. The kicker is he came in behind me, and I walked the whole thing. So I think overall I would advise against the barefoot running...

By zombie mom]]> I would love to figure out something else to do while I run. I get super bored sometimes especially now that I am running longer stints (half marathon in two weeks), but what would it be? I would love the be able to finish knitting projects, read more Proust, or complete my corporate taxes. But for now, its enough when I get the dog exercised, mileage in and if the baby is with me she is still smiling...

Congrats on the training!

By Lisa]]> psst! Adrienne! If you want barefoot runners, look up Zola Budd: Twice world record holder at 5K. Competed in the 1984 Olympics. All barefoot.

By Happy]]> How about spelling out messages to the crowd using the semaphore flag signalling system?

Although if it were me doing a half-marathon, I'm quite sure that I would only spell out curses and complaints. The crowd would probably be greatly offended.

By Melsky]]> I truly can't understand how people can run those things, let alone do anything else at the same time.

By Jenny]]> I'm just happy if I can jump rope without smacking myself in the face. Anything else, for me, is dangerous.

By Perry]]> I like to think of joggling as the "sport of the future".

There are lots of us out there and if you are interested in learning how, check out this blog...

Incidentally, in addition to the world record for joggling a marathon being set, the world record for joggling a 50-mile ultra marathon was also set.

By Kyle]]> Just and F.Y.I. that link right above this comment is REAL. I totally thought that guy was kidding. Wow, that's pretty cool!

Umm, I can read and drive a car at the same time. Does that count for anything?

PQ - Well, just don't tell you car insurance company. They might raise your premiums.

By K]]> Even I can't read while running. Not even on the treadmill!

As for juggling... my sister tried to teach me once. Not a success. Some of us have it, and others of us don't!

By angiev70]]> Wow...I'm such a dork. I was reading "joggling" as "JOGGING" and wondering why it was such a big deal for someone to be jogging in a marathon. Then I thought I was complete idiot when it came to running because I wasn't sure what the difference -- other than speed -- was between running and jogging and why it would set a record. And why was it "showing off" by chewing gum while jogging? LMAO

When I got to the second paragraph I realized I had missed something. Perhaps the letter L?

By Allison]]> I ran the Army 10 miler last year and there's a guy from the Army who runs it and plays a FLUTE. I cannot fathom how he's able to do that. I barely had enough breath to finish the race much less play an instrument that pretty much requires 100% of your breathing.

PQ - I used to play flute in marching band. Or more accurately, I DIDN'T play flute in marching band. I was too out of breath to play the second half of the show. So I really admire that guy.
