Marathon Man Alberta man, 55, runs 250 marathons for charity
If there is a Cinderella day for a long-distance runner, Martin Parnell slipped on the glass slippers on Friday. Or rather, at least his 22nd pair of running shoes in 2010.
Mr. Parnell, 55, a semi-retired engineer from Cochrane, Alta., completed his 250th marathon of 2010 right on schedule. Even though the thermometer never budged warmer than -25C, he and his accompanying group of runners started on time, finished on time – and had a great time.

Ontario man says he’s broken world record with 125-hour dance marathon
An Ontario man says he has broken the world record for longest dance marathon.
Using a variety of moves including Michael Jackson's moonwalk, Suresh Joachim, 41, danced for 125 hours in Brampton in his latest effort to break yet another Guiness World Record.
The Mississauga man began kicking up his heels at 8:30 a.m. last Monday and finished at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
He grooved to disco songs, Bollywood tunes, rap music, techno music, Tamil songs and even the hit “Billie Jean” from Mr. Jackson, who's his favourite artist.
When he began, he was aiming to break a record of 108 hours, but he discovered on the dance floor he actually needed to beat a record of 123 hours and 15 minutes set in India in September.
To prepare for the event, he worked out on a treadmill and abstained from alcohol, he said. He also ate a lot, knowing he'd lose some weight during the marathon dance. Mr. Joachim estimated he lost about three pounds since he started busting a move.
