Activating the Philadelphia Marathon Joggler

A Harvard Divinity School student juggled three balls continuously while running a 3:07:05 marathon in Philadelphia. Running sans hands presented some challenges for Zach Warren:
    “At mile 20, a bug got stuck in my eye, and there’s nothing I could do except blink a lot,” he said. “Around mile 14, I had a gel pack, my hands got sticky, and the balls started sticking to my hand. In a one-mile period, I dropped the balls about a dozen times.”
