2 days, 2 continents, 3marathons

Pam Reed, who just ran 300 miles without sleep last week, is now attempting another big feat. She and fellow ultra-marathon woman Laura Yasso, here, will run in the London Marathon on April 17, 2005 and then fly to Massachusetts. Precisely 3.5 hours before the first corral is released at noon for the Boston Marathon these two dynamo's will run the course in reverse, reach the start line just before noon, take a drink of water, turn around and run it again this time with the rest of the field in a scheduled 3.5 hour finish.

Talk about beating the body up. I have heard of people getting thrombosis and dying from sitting in airplane seats will crossing the atlantic, could you imagine the cramping you or I would have and then running 52.4 miles?
