(02) Tim Hurst: Running 58 Marathons on 1 Leg

Tim has ran over 58 marathons in fifty states, and also did I mention he has only one Leg.

No Excuses!

26.2 miles might represent miles driven for a work day commute or weekend getaway. To those in the running community, those three numbers represent the achievement of running a full marathon.  My guest on the show today has done 58 marathons. That’s over 1,520 miles just in just marathons. That doesn’t count all the days training and preparing. Of those 58 marathons, fifty of them were in a different state including Alaska and Hawaii. This is an incredible accomplishment but what makes Tim Hurst even more inspirational is that he only has one leg. You heard me right  ONE LEG!!!!  Earlier this year he finished his goal of 50 Marathons in 50 States at the Disney World Marathon.  Pictured below is Tim and his biggest cheerleader his wife, Lynette.

I had the privilege of talking with Tim for about two hours the day that he came and interviewed. He is so down to earth and has such a fun personality. Just being around him made me believe that my impossible could really happen.
