Season 4 - Episode 75 - 08-14-2018
Casey and Candice plays Jenga. Casey runs shouting Maps. He runs with Maps Maponyane. In the studio Casey explains that he his freaking out every end of summer. On top of that Candice is getting more and more pregnant. So the past week-end they went to the beach. Francine is sitting next to Casey in the car (blurred/blacked out). Candice drives because he is too tired. Windmill. They arrive at the beach/hotel. They stay here for one night. Casey carries the luggage, he is the dad. Pool time before the sunset. The next morning it is pouring rain. It never stopped. Failed episode but it is useful to tell a story. He starts to feel like an old man. He wanted to challenge himself. He runs a lot, 40 50 60 miles a week but he wanted a real challenge. A Marathon is 26.2 miles (42.2 km) 3 marathons 78.6 miles. He wanted to see if he was capable of running the equivalent of 4 marathons in 7 days. 104.8 miles (168.7 km). 15 miles a day which is a lot. The hardest is to find the time: family, job, ... how to run that much in addition to everything else. He is 37, is not supposed to be running because of his motorbike accident. But his body is always doing fine, he has no leg pain, no stomach pain, just not enough time. His car still works. Candice calls him a sociopath but he is glad he did it. He feels lucky to have a body that can still carry him. 105+ miles he did it. His next challenge will be to run a marathon a day during 7 days in the next years. Beach time with Francine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ27wm2JGqA
