University of New Hampshire student Thomas ‘Tom’ Gounley will run the Boston Marathon on Monday while juggling bean bags during the race….the entire race.
Gounley ran the race last year in 2:56:05. It will be interesting to see how fast he will be running the race this year while juggling.
He decided to juggle bean bags instead of balls so he wouldn’t have to go chasing the balls if/when he were to drop one.
Of course he has coined a term for running while juggling – JOGGLING!
Best of luck to Tom, his bags, and everyone running the Boston Marathon on Monday.
