REUTERS: Bosnian Catholic Runs 35-Hour Marathon to See Pope
A Bosnian Catholic marathon runner has embarked on a 35-hour run from the southern town of Mostar to the northwestern town of Banja Luka to see Pope John Paul (news - web sites), a newspaper reported on Saturday.Aleksandar Gola said he would run 150 miles in honor of the pontiff, who arrives on Sunday in Banja Luka.
On his 101st foreign trip, the pope will beatify a Catholic layman and urge ethnic reconciliation in the country still recovering from war.
"I know this will be a long journey. But my wish to touch the Holy Father is stronger than any fatigue," Gola was quoted by the Banja Luka-based Nezavisne Novine newspaper as saying before he set out on Friday.
And I thought it was ludicrous that someone would walk a mile for a Camel.
