[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3166049, member: 26737"] I don't know about the other marks, but I saw a news piece about them piling up at the southern Mexican border on Friday or Saturday night. They had video of a border bridge that was packed with people, as well as people jumping off the bridge to cross the river on foot (it was only a few feet deep). They must be picking up people as they go; 130mi/day is a very long march. A forced march for the Roman legions was only about 25 miles per day, and those guys were in pretty good shape (and walked everywhere they went). Interestingly enough, 130mi/day works out to 5.4mph, which would be a 4:51 marathon time ([URL='http://www.surgicalartistrymarathon.com/running-speed-pace-chart.htm']cite[/URL]), which would qualify an 80 year old man or 70 year old woman for the Boston Marathon ([URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Marathon']cite[/URL]). That's a pretty decent pace to keep up 24 hour per day... [/QUOTE]
