In a few minutes, I'll be joggling home from work through the smog-filled streets of downtown Toronto in searing heat and drenching humidity.
But this is nothing compared to what the Olympic marathoners will likely face next year in Beijing. After reading this article in Runner's World Online, I'm glad I never managed to qualify for the Beijing Games.
If you're in Toronto, come down to the St. Lawrence Market this weekend and check out the Buskerfest. I'll be at the Scotiabank kids' tent Saturday and Sunday from 11 am - noon, teaching kids how to juggle and generally making a fool out of myself.
I'm Michal "The Joggler" Kapral of Port Hope, Ontario, Canada, and I run marathons and other events while "joggling," an actual sport that combines jogging (or running) and juggling. I hold the Guinness World Record of 2:50:12 for the fastest marathon while juggling three objects. (I also chewed gum every step of the way.)
