A man is running a marathon in every state over 50 consecutive days. I wouldn't believe this was possible if it wasn't documented. Unreal.

This is absolutely amazing. How does this guy do it?!

I'm surprised that this story is not splashed all over the news.

I particularly like the part where he ran two marathons in one day, apparently running one a day is just too easy. However, I think that this:

Thompson's girlfriend, Kirsten Sellereit, is a registered dietician and has accompanied him throughout the trip. She also is his masseuse, giving him a 20- or 30-minute rubdown after each run. She watches his fluid intake and helps him pick out his food.

is the secret to his success.

Mental note: Find out if she has any sisters.
