Following the first instalment, here’s another list of interesting running-related articles I’ve come across recently, in between overdoses of the grumpy cat and the Ikea monkey memes.
One
Some days are just way too busy for me to even consider lacing up my running shoes. Surely I’m doing something wrong, especially if it’s true that Ron Hill has been running at least a mile a day since December 20, 1964. That’s a whole lotta running.
Two
Andrew Murray ran 7 ultra-marathons in 7 continents in less than 7 days. Is this some sort of conspiracy to make me feel guilty about having stayed in bed this morning?
Three
Total Sport founder Aaron Carter spoke to the New Zealand Herald about the tough road to organising running events. An interesw Zealand.
Four
The Washington Post wonders what it would be like if Disney’s Sleeping Beauty was a runner.
Five

Did I miss anything good? The internet is kind of big and, in between work, bathroom breaks and a few hours of sleep, there may have been something I missed. Fill me in!

Ikea monkey=awesome. Thanks for introducing us. And I cannot fathom running 10K in Antarctica, let alone 50, let alone running that distance for the next six days, with airports, flights, and hotels (assuming the man found time to sleep) in between. Thanks for combing the web for us:)
