A group of runners and volunteers from the Arkansas Traveller 100-Miler were gathered in a dark, dingy motel room. Rock and fellow Little Rock Hasher Tiny Tim Biggs were among them.
Rock and Tim stood near the door, away from the others. "I wonder what the farthest is anyone has ever run non-stop," Rock said.
"Do what?" Tim said.
"You know. How far has anyone ever run without fucking stopping?"
"I don't have any idea."
"This is why we need God's Record Book."
Several bystanders were suddenly nearby and looked at Rock as if he were insane.
"What are you talking about?" Tim said.
Rock explained that if there was some omnipotent entity, surely he could put together and publish a list of every single record, including the furthest anyone had ever run without stopping.
Tim mentioned that at least three Traveller winners said they ran every step of the course.
"Sure," Rock responded. "But you know they stopped at least for a moment at a few aid stations. For one thing, they have to get weighed a few times."
