I try to walk at least two miles each day. When I feel frisky, I might walk all the way to my mailbox and back.
That’s four miles.
When Cory Phillpott, a 23-year-old athlete from Australia feels frisky, he runs a marathon. Cory recently ran a 26.2-mile marathon through Jamison Park in Penrith, New South Wales. He crossed the finish line at a time of 16 hours and 12 minutes.
Pretty slow, actually.
But his time is a bit more impressive when you factor in that Cory Phillpott completed the marathon while pulling a 1.6-ton Ford Ranger pickup.
His feat is not eligible for the Guinness World Record because he pulled the wrong vehicle. To qualify for that, he needed to pull a city car, half the size of the pickup.
