Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, inflation claims another victim as Justin Trudeau steps down as Prime Minister of Canada.
Then a new high-tech Tiger Woods-backed golf league kicks off its inaugural season tonight. It's Tuesday, January 7th. Let's ride. Let's ride.
This might make you feel a little lazy. A 55-year-old Belgian woman named Hilde de Soon just put all of our New Year's resolutions to shame, saying she completed one marathon per day in 2024, a goal she set for herself at the beginning of the year. That's not only wildly impressive and a little bit crazy, but it also could be history.
She's submitting evidence to the Guinness World Record to become the first woman to run a marathon every single day of the year. Toby, she said the hardest part about this wasn't the physical aspect, but the mental anguish of waking up and knowing you have to start all over again every day, which, same.
Same. The only thing more impressive than running a marathon every single day could be recording a business news podcast every morning. I think they're on similar levels. Also, it was a leap year last year, so she actually ran 366 marathons. Pretty crazy. How about this, though, too? She was working part-time. She also has four children and a husband, so it wasn't just running 24-7.
She also lived life in between.
