The Real Life Forrest Gump
"I just felt like Runnigg, Jenny"
Too bad Jenny wasn't present to give the little guy some water before he collapsed.
A five-year-old child stunned onlookers when he ran a distance of 65 kilometres (40.3 miles) in seven hours in eastern India.
Watched over by his coach, paramilitary forces and TV crews, and trailed by army doctors and an ambulance, Budhia Singh ran between the holy town of Puri in the eastern state of Orissa and its capital Bhubaneswar.
Budhia, almost a real life version of the fictitious Forrest Gump, began the race from a temple in Puri at 4.00 am local time but collapsed two kilometres short of the designated finish line -- the headquarters of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in Bhubaneswar -- at 11.02 am, television reports said.
