Perry Romanowski is a marathon runner with a twist - he juggles the entire 26.2 miles and takes it quite seriously. Here we talk about how juggling affects his pace, what he does at the aid stations, and why he wants to run an ultra-marathon. He also tracks his nutrition closely (he know he had eaten 144 donuts in 2006) and gives us a "typical" week of training for the Chicago marathon.
