20.000.000.00

AM - 11.5 miles up to work. 

PM - 8.5 miles home. Almost ran straight into Andrea who was out running b/c her doctor gave her the wrong appointment time, then wouldn't see her. Jerk. Poor girl has been struggling for half the year and this is how he treats her. Unbelievable. I am so mad.

This guy holds a lot of records. I can't decide what the most impressive one is... I can't even narrow it down to my Top 20!

Saucony is looking for more wear testers.

Somersaulting for 12 miles is impressive.

From Jake K on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 08:33:17 from 155.100.226.191

7:47 mile balancing a milk bottle on his head?

I am just in awe as I go down the list!

We've all considered "knife catching," and "Duct taping oneself to wall", from time to time, for sure. But the runner in me is most impressed with "Stilt Walking." He did an 8k at 8:02 pace? ON STILTS? Seriously? Did he use a Hal Higdon training program for that?

From Rob on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 08:55:57 from 206.71.84.68

And I thought it was going to be a link to Tom Brady.

I was going to ask if he had the World Record for the most World Records, then I noticed he did.

From Redd on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 09:06:51 from 67.182.221.190

I would have to say having the world's most outdated website is my fav.

From SlowJoe on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 09:32:55 from 155.219.241.10

80 continuous miles with the bottle balancing on head.

Tom - I saw a picture of the "stilts" which are pretty short, and spring-loaded. Which leads me to believe Oscar Pistorius should have the 400m record...I think he can beat 1:31.

haha this made my day. I think I could give him a run for his money in the potatoe sack race. :)

Drinking 200 ml. of Mustard? But I'm with Kevin. I expected to see some spinning gifs, a digital-looking hit counter, and a broken link with a stick person shoveling next to an "under construction" sign.

From Jake K on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 10:20:18 from 155.100.226.191

I don't have the sound turned on, but I can imagine some pretty sweet MIDI tunes are playing in the background

From Tom K on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 10:25:31 from 71.228.90.171

Given the new stilt information, I'm changing my vote for most impressive record to "Freeloading off of Your Father for 56 Years."

Bravo, Sir!

From Rob on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 12:28:28 from 206.71.84.68

I liked the idea of being a shoe tester until I read the requirements and realized I don't have any idea what I like in a running shoe.

I like it when the shoe laces don't come undone, and I like it when my feet don't hurt when I'm done.

From Jake K on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 12:33:03 from 155.100.226.191

Those are pretty important requirements.

Basically they are probably trying to weed out people who are completely incompetent. If you can articulate your opinions on the shoe relatively well, you qualify.

From Bret on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 12:36:02 from 64.128.133.66

Underwater pogo stick jumping is my favorite.

From Rob on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 12:37:08 from 206.71.84.68

The size 9-10 leaves me out anyway, oh and the incompetent part you just added.

From Kassi on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 13:31:19 from 98.202.223.143

Too bad my feet are too big

From RAD on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 13:59:55 from 67.171.119.50

I don't think 37 seconds is fast enough to duct tape my kids to the wall...they'd still make a mess before he had them secured! :)

From Tom K on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 15:27:13 from 71.228.90.171

I have been less productive at work than usual today, because of this world record guy. I just keep thinking of the ridiculousness of some of these records, and then imagine him bragging about the records.

He SPIT a ping pong ball 42 feet! WHEN would that talent come in handy? When would that ability even come up in normal conversation? Could ANYONE do that, or is he exceptional in his ping pong ball spitting ability? Why did he have to do that on Easter Island? Arrrgh!

I hope when his father talks about him, it is like this:

Thanks, Jake. I got a few good laughs out of this today.

From Jake K on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 16:33:50 from 155.100.226.191

I know... I can't even look at the site anymore b/c it just makes my mind go into overdrive. How did he even come up w/ 95% of this stuff?

From Bonnie on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 18:33:24 from 206.53.226.236

My vote is for underwater hoolahooping and M & Ms using chopsticks ... but they are all so impressive!

From CollinAnderson on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 22:14:40 from 70.196.196.171

Hahaha, you totally found that link on Let's Run, didn't you? I saw that on there yesterday. Sick mileage so far for the week. Oh, and too bad the sizes are so limited for the wear testing...

From CollinAnderson on Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 22:15:21 from 70.196.196.171

Oh, and what about skipping a marathon? I'm tempted to try that myself. Haha.
