Briton to be honored by Guiness Book of World Records as first man to run around the world


He has his skeptics, but a British man, Robert Garside, will be recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the first person to run around the world.

Garside, pictured during his quest, essentially ran a marathon a day--26 miles (42 km) for several years.

(And I was pleased for running 12 miles this morning in 80 degree heat.)

The Guiness World Record people present Garside with his certificate honoring his achievement Tuesday at Piccadilly Circus in London.
