  2. I think that he don’t have something to do so he start running around the world and I’m sure he has lost lots of weight because of this run but he is such an incredible man because he runs around the world. I think the run worth a lot because he run all around the world just imagine running the whole planet!! I will not do something like this because I’m not crazy to run for more than 20 months for nothing just to earn money and money comes and go but my time is more important than money. What is the benefit from running like this much? He has said that he will have a bit of rest I’m sure he is meaning it. In my opinion people do strange thing like the man in the article just to be famous and earn money.

  3. I think he start thinking that he have to achieve something that would be strange and hard to do. Then he said I would run around the world. He dose that because he wants people to know him and to know that he have done that so what he have done will be written in history. I want to do something like that because it’s not easy and because it would be a great adventure for me I think it will be amazing. People do like that to be famous between people, to have a good background about them so people would like them and their names will be there, even when they are already dead like newton. I think the run worth it because it not just doing it to be in the history no its kind of adventure and also there is another benefits of doing such things that would make you famous and rich.

  4. I think that he wants to do something unique and strange by running around the world and I think he had fun by seeing the world from different view. I think his goal is to be famous and to be shown in news, I think this run worth it because he achieved his goal by being famous now, but if I want to be famous, the last thing I will think about it is running around the world because it’s wasting time for nothing and there is many ways to be famous and I know it’s not easy to achieve your goal by being famous it needs ambitions and actions. If I want to be famous I will train playing football in a club and I will work hard to play in the football ground and I think this is the easiest thing for me to be famous and gaining money because it’s the most popular game in the world. Some times People make strange things to gain money and to be famous because this is their dream.

  5. I think that Tom Denniss is a sport lover. The proof of that he has travelled more than 26,000 kilometers on foot, crossing deserts and mountains over five continents. He spends more than 20 months. I think he had fun by seeing the world from different view. He does that because he wants people to know him and to know that he have done that so what he have done will be record in history. I think the run worth it because it not just doing it to be in the history no it’s kind of adventure that he love to do it. If he didn’t love it he will never do it. He inspired me to follow my hopes and work very hard to do it whatever my age is. I must put all the best to achieve it.

  6. Generally, people like running or walking as it has many advantages. Millions of people run and walk daily in all around the world.

    I think that Tom Denniss enjoyed running as he quoted "I’ve always enjoyed being out on the road in the countryside, and running ever since I was about 12 years old" as he loved what he did I think that it was worth it and I think he’s tough to pull something like these things because he’s 52 and people don’t usually do these things in their 50’s.

    If I was fitness enough and got the guts to pull this id surely do it because I think its fun to do something like this as you may discover new places.

    I think people do these strange things to get famous or maybe they like to do these things. I think Tom did because he liked running and not for being famous.
