A Berkshire man, crippled by chronic laziness, was amazed to learn today that he’d completed a Marathon without realising he was running one. The gruelling race took just over 13 years to complete, and looks set to enter the Guinness Book of Records, although it is not yet known what for.“I am immensely proud,” said the man. “But I could never have done it without my unwitting bravery and courage. It’s a tribute to the human spirit, I guess, and an inspiration to folk who haven’t achieved as much as I have. When I heard what I’d accomplished, it brought a tear to my eye. I think I might have the heart of a lion, or something. That’s the only way I can account for it. I’m not normally an amazing person, but this 13 years just seems to have brought out the best in me.”
Asked if the event had raised anything, the man said, “I certainly hope so. That would be nice.”
