Boston Joggle Showdown '06

In the spirit of our juggleblog sensibilities, I thought I'd let you all know that the greatest Joggling (juggling while running) showdown of all time occurred at the Boston Marathon this very day (or yesterday, I guess. I know one of you assholes would've called me on it). For the first time ever two jogglers ran a marathon head-to-head. Incidentally, the two jogglers in question are Zach Warren, Harvard Divinity School student and current Joggle-marathon record holder, and Michal Kapral, Toronto native and the man Warren edged out by 41 seconds to claim the record. This shit is fucking intense.

According to Joggling rules neither man can take more than 2 strides while not juggling. If a ball is dropped, the joggler must return to the point at which he flubbed and restart. According to Kapral, "it really is poetry."

No word on who won. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for news.
