One Small Step for Man...


 Just when you think you've heard it all.

A 31-year old man is training to be the first person to run a mile on the moon.

ABC News reports that distance runner Jonathon Prince is scheduled to be the first person to blaze a trail atop the lunar ball.

But although he will fly to the moon Prince doesn't necessarily think he's superhuman. When interviewed, he says nothing is impossible in life; you simply have to put a massive amount of commitment and dedication behind your dream. His dedication includes logging long hours training at a private space facility to learn everything there is to know about the space industry.

But that's not even the most impressive part.

Whereas I thought my measly 5Ks were impressive, Prince is currently logging a whopping 100 to 120 miles per week. When you consider that there are approximately 1,760 steps in every mile that is run, this means Prince is running more than 176,000 steps per week.

That is one giant leap for mankind.

To see the interview with the first man who will run a mile on the surface of the moon, visit here or follow him on Facebook.
