In light of BeaV's feat a few months ago, I thought this was pretty fascinating, and equally crazy stuff.

Imagine running 238 miles in 58 hours on 21 minutes sleep and beating the next competitor by 10 hours?

Read this a while ago, but I don't think that article mentioned she was from MN.
You Minnesotan's must be some tough people. ;-)

Same here. I certainly couldn't even walk that long.
