Man plans to honor Olympics with 50 marathons in 50 days
Norman Varga has swapped one extreme pursuit -- cage fighting -- for another. The 25-year-old Hungarian ran a marathon on Saturday, and he plans to run one a day for the next 49 as a lead-up to the 2012 Olympics.
He'll cover more than 1,300 miles across eight countries before arriving in London in time for the Games on July 27, if all goes to plan. It's not as if he's not used to dealing with the pain: As a teenager, Varga nearly lost his left arm reattached after being pushed under a tram.
Then again, compared to this guy, Varga's quest may not seem extreme at all.
