| Running like crazy |
| 16/01/2010 |
| Running a marathon requires dedication, long hours of training and an extreme cerebral focus bordering on obsession. Leg cramps, mental walls, dehydration; finishing a 42-kilometer run is no easy task and embarking on such an endeavor should be embraced with much foresight and consideration.
So the notion of running 52 marathons in 52 weeks can only signify one thing - a short circuit in the chemical synapses that relay common sense to the brain.
Yet, 32-year-old Australian Tristan Miller sounds quite sane when discussing his Mount Everest-style goal last week, a day after arriving here for the Tiberias Marathon - the second leg of his year-long quest which began on New Year's Eve in Zurich.
"For me, it was the idea of doing something that you never thought was possible. When I started running marathons five years ago and realized that I could actually do it, I started to think about other things that maybe I could do as well," said the genial Melbourne native from the Jaffa Youth Hostel, where he was staying before heading north later in the day to scope the marathon route around Tiberias.
