Think your new years resolution will be really hard to keep? It's probably not compared to Canadian runner Martin Parnell, who pledged to complete 250 marathons in the next 12 months... Nearly 5 per week!
Since there aren't that many competitive events scheduled in the entire world, most will be run close to home on the Cochrane Foothills Marathon Course in Alberta. But Martin will also compete in several official events, although time travelling isn't time he could be running.
The 54-year-old hopes to raise $250,000 for charity with his marathon effort -- running a total of 6,550 miles. The money he raises will go to 'Right To Play' a Canadian humanitarian organization.
If he's on schedule, Martin should have completed 2 26.2 mile circuits before this post was published.
