JustinW Gunning for Marathon Speed Record

JustinW hard at work

JustinW, a computer programmer based in South Bend, IN has announced that he will be running the world’s fastest marathon this summer at a previously undistinguished race in South Bend called the Sunburst. W will attempt to best Paul Tergat of Kenya’s 2:04:55 world record, run in Berlin in September of 2003. “Tergat certainly delivered on speed, but I’m confident my Jedi mind tricks will give me the edge,” said W speaking to reporters from his home in Mishawaka, IN. W says he is confident that his novel three-day a week training program will help him better Tergat’s 4:46 per mile pace. “It’s going to be tough,” he notes. “But I’ve got some great friends and coworkers to see me through to the finish line.”

    Breaking the course record by about 30 minutes on the way… someone must get a video of this attempt. Why am I saying attempt? Sounds like its already in the bag, eh?!
