"Oh. My. Goodness. The thought of running a single marathon makes most of us feel anxious, but 26--in 26 days?! That&amp;#x27;s what one woman is doing right now! We&amp;#x27;ve talked about extreme running before, but gals, I&amp;#x27;m totally blown away by the news of Rosie Swale Pope, a 63-year-old UK woman, who is on track to run her 26th marathon in 26 days. Her mission? To raise money for two hospices that she cares deeply about. The woman clearly has determination, if not a bit of superhuman strength, (she also completed a five-year run around the world to raise money for a prostate cancer charity after her husband, Clive, died of the disease). On her marathon quest, she&amp;#x27;s worn through 4 pairs of running shoes, and her knee injury, a torn ligament, as flared up, forcing her to rely on painkillers to finish her goal (ouch). But, something tells me this gal will cross the finish line, even if she has to crawl. (You can read more about her story, here.) Sounds awfully painful and intense to me, but, I have to say, I&amp;#x27;m kind of inspired by her determination, especially since I wimped out on a puny 4-mile jog yesterday because of ... rain. What&amp;#x27;s the hardest thing you&amp;#x27;ve ever done fitness-wise? P.S. These running shoes are the next best thing to going barefoot--would you try them? Plus, speaking of shocking, how old is too old to become a mom? Meet the almost-70-year-old new mama! And, details on running a marathon, from a Glamour editor who just finished her first!
