I Want to Run a Marathon

My daughter's SO completed his 100 mile run...not sure of his time, but he ran 100 miles. This is mind-boggling to me still.

There was damage, though - they're 493 miles away and their car will not start.

The big goal is to do it in 24 hours. Best wishes for his recovery.

@Alfred22 He finished in under 20.

@Mamapolo2016 That's amazingly fast. He must be a great runner.

@Alfred22 I just learned 20 was a typo in a text - under 22.

He is an amazing story - he was rock climbing in the Grand Tetons a couple of years ago and a piton slipped - when he was done falling and sliding and dangling and banging against rocks, he'd fallen about 150 feet. By great fortune a lifeline helicopter was already arriving at the mountains to carry out a woman climber who'd had a fatal fall, and that saved our young man from bleeding to death. He almost lost an eye, had multiple broken bones and lost teeth - they rebuilt his face with, I think, 25 titanium plates...he's a tough hombre.
