He did raise over a million pounds for 2 charities while doing it. but that is absolutely fucking nuts.

A man who vowed to complete a marathon on every day of 2022 has hit his £1m target after completing his final run.

Gary McKee, from Cleator Moor, in Cumbria, began his challenge on 1 January, with donations to be shared between Macmillan Cancer Support and West Cumbria Hospice at Home.

The father-of-three often ran his 26.2-mile (42km) route before starting work at the Sellafield nuclear site.

As he crossed the finish line, he thanked the "fantastic" reception.

And he later revealed in a tweet that he had reached his £1m goal in aid of charities.

Cheered on by crowds, he started his latest challenge at 08:30 GMT and finished at about 14:00 GMT in front of a fireworks display.

 

Mr McKee has gone through more than 20 pairs of trainers, run more than 9,500 miles (15,300km) and finished his final marathon at about 14:00.

Speaking afterwards, he said: "The streets were lined. It was raining, but everybody was out clapping and shouting.

 

Don't need a crystal ball to predict he will have heart problems in his future.

I could do a Twilight Zone marathon every day until maybe late January.

Joint problems are more likely. Would be a better story if he cycled the equivalent distance everyday.

I managed to take the trash out most of the time on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

One of the charities I'd a dental clinic.

Fucking bad ass. Kodo drummers. I don’t think they ever played with the Dead and would love to learn different.

It’s mostly recycled glass bottles.  That’s only on Thursday.  The regular bin of food leftovers and random other shit that’s not recyclable goes out on Tuesday.
