Man uses Einsteins Relativity to hike 5000 kilometres in 10 days
5000kilometres/10 days = 500 kilometres per day
24 hours a day, so
500 km/24 hrs = 20.8 kilometres per hour
top marathon speed is 19- 20 km/hour *
So running at that sort of speed for 10 days is quite an achievement; but using Einsteins relativity makes it a lot easier; read-on:

Sanford sang: I'm Hiking on a Jet Plane...so Don't cry for me Argentina
Hiking from South Carolina to Argentina even when adultery has been the goal has often taken months at a time. South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford has achieved what seems to be the impossible by walking from Charleston, South Carolina to Buenos Aires, Argentina in the amazing record of only ten days.
Hiking experts are questioning Sanford's claim based on sheer mathematics. The five thousand kilometers from South carolina to Argentina would have to hiked at light speed to achieve the goal in ten days. sanford defended his record by pointing out that even Einstein considered the relative speed of a thrown ball or a hiking man while aboard a train, a boat or a plane. Maybe I made it in ten days or less because I was hiking on a jet plane... Have you thought about that sports fans!?
