"MEDINA, Ohio - Medina runner Connie Gardner is never one to back down from her next endurance challenge.

Just a few weeks after setting an American women's record for running 149 miles in one day, Gardner is now focusing on the world record of 158 miles.


Gardner, 48, finished second in 24-Hour World Championships in Poland and led the American women's team to a gold medal."

So awesome. "I was out drinking with some friends and decided I wanted to run. So I did"

How did you discover your insane ability to run so far? I was drunk.

You should watch the other episodes of Stan Lee Superhumans, some crazy people on that show.

So she beat Forrest Gumps old record?


On a side note, OP, Canfield is a couple towns over from you, right? You now a kid by the name of Robert Bujdoso by chance? Or the company Checkered Express in Girard?

Ah I'm really good friends with him through racing and occasionally visit him, would be cool if an NSer knew one of my best friends from a couple hundred miles away!
