Damn -- I think 26 and 56 were my PRs for 200 and 400! I've never had any illusions that my footspeed was anything great, but if I had ever been passed by a guy juggling, I would have quit the sport right there on the spot.

There's a small item in the Scorecard section of the latest Sports Illustrated (Feb 24, Angels baseball cover), about Chris Essick, a "joggler"of some renown.
Recently lowered the 200 meter indoor record for joggling -- running while juggling -- to 27.75 seconds. He also has outdoor world bests of 26.16 for 200m and 56.9 for 400m.
According to Essick, "it's difficult because you can't propel yourself with
your arms. It's all legs."
Essick, 31, was a former decathlete at Missouri Valley College.
