That's pretty sweet. Makes the folks who post here look like a bunch of couch potato sissies. Score one for the fruitarians!

Janette Murray-Wakelin, 64, and Alan Murray, 68, rose at 4 a.m. each day and ran 366 consecutive marathons with no days off.

Raw vegan and raw fruitarian don't work for me.
Good for them, what they are doing works for them.

Marathons are not my cup of tea.

Let me at the chicks instead.  ;D

Yeah, but they're in their 60s. She's 64, he's 68. You can't expect them to look like 30 year olds. And they just ran a marathon a day for an entire year. That certainly takes a lot out of you.

I hear you Eric.

That was part of what I was referring to. To me running a long distance for anyone is not a wise idea. I was only partly referring to the raw vegan part.

However I have seen so many PPL who do things that I did not previously think possible that I have stopped saying what is a good idea. Instant karma hits whenever I say something is impossible. LOL

At one time I thought that anyone eating raw meat, let alone rotten raw meat had a death wish...
