Mad or not?

Here are some really mad people. Lloyd Scott is cycling 100 marathons on a penny farthing in 40°C heat. Ben Fogle ran a marathon a day for a week in 45°C heat. I caught a bit of the Fogle programme yesterday – at least I know my blisters won’t be as bad as his, and at the worst I’ll only have to endure pain for half a day or so.

Then again, Lorraine Kelly did FLM04 and runs "an hour or two three times a week and at the weekend… 10 miles" – considerably more than I’m currently prattling on about. I’m not belittling the bonny lass, but it just goes to show that with a bit of determination, running a marathon is something that anyone can do.
