Paul Walsh has just finished running 156 km. For fun. Around the bottom of Mount Fuji.
If you think he's crazy, then you'll have to incriminate the other 611 people who also finished the Ultra-Trail Mount Fuji (UTMF) 100-Mile race held this past May 18 to 20.
What's it like to run 156 km? It took Walsh, who came in 42nd overall, 28 hours 55 minutes and 38 seconds to run the circumference of Mount Fuji. He started at 3 p.m. on Friday, ran all night and all the next day, finishing Saturday evening at almost 8 p.m. He hardly ate. He got no sleep. And that's the good part of it!
