Man celebrates birthday with 24-hour treadmill run

Lustful Butchery

Throwing Some Justice!
BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. (AP) - A Twin Cities man was looking for a challenge, so he decided to celebrate his 30th birthday by running on a treadmill for 24 hours straight. B.J. Van Beusekom covered about 80 miles before he stopped running at noon Tuesday. He promptly went to the nearest chair and rested his obviously stiff legs.

The 6-foot, 175-pound Van Beusekom took breaks only to use the restroom and change clothes.

He accomplished his feat at Athletic Performance Inc., a training center in Brooklyn Center. To keep him motivated, API provided a dance with a disc jockey, a slumber party and a big screen television.

For the rest of his birthday, Van Beusekom says he just wants a nap and a massage.

Van Beusekom's effort also raised just over $3,000 for the American Lung Association.

2 hours 22 minutes is my record on my treadmill. Drenched from head to toe, 8 bottles of water done, and a shitload of Toku watched.

I was too sore to even take a shower.
 
if he took breaks then he truly didnt run 24 hours. He stopped at some point. So BOO! BOOOoo I say!
 
crazy bastard. I can only run for 2 minutes straight before I start having a serious asthma attack...
