How's this for edurance

IN THE WESTERN DESERT, Egypt -- Three ultra-endurance athletes have just done something most would consider insane: They ran the equivalent of two marathons a day for 111 days to become the first modern runners to cross the Sahara Desert's grueling 4,000 miles.

And I heard on NPR on my drive in to work today that of course there is a movie being made (a documentary in this case).

I'll put that on the list with mountain unicycling

Both are things I'll never do

I'm not trying to say that this isn't impressive. But if you do the math they only traveled 36 miles per day. That would mean they never actually ran, but rather walked 20 minute miles for 12 hours a day.
