Amazing Athletes - Aussie Will Attempt To Run From the North Pole to the South Pole

Now this would be an amazing feat:

Aussie marathon man to run from North to South poles

Apparently, Pat Farmer will be doing this on the North American and South American continent, then air lifted to Antartica, where he will be running the rest of the trip to the South Pole.

13,000 miles, in 11 months? That is about 40 miles per day, with no rest.

And this is in weather that ranges from sub freezing cold, to hot, moist weather, then back to sub freezing cold again.

And in politically unstable regions such as mexico and other parts of Central and South America.

That truly is amazing folks. I wish him luck, and hope to track him as he attempts the impossible.
