Fat Man Walking
This would be kind of cool to do, I think, if you had the money and the time. Can't believe it took him over a year though.
'Fat Man' Finishes Walking Trek in NYC
NEW YORK (AP) - Steve Vaught didn't count each mile he walked or weigh himself every day along the way. And as he completed the final leg of his trek across America, he said making it to New York City from California on foot was only part of his story.
``I'm glad that I'm here, but for me it's never been about the destination,'' said Vaught, 40, as he crossed the George Washington Bridge from New Jersey to Manhattan more than a year after he began the trip to lose weight and find happiness. ``It's been about the journey.''
He began the 3,000-mile trek from his Oceanside, Calif., home to Manhattan on April 10, 2005, when he weighed 410 pounds and was suffering severe depression after accidentally killing two pedestrians while driving 15 years ago.

Dude, he's still 310 lbs. He should totally walk back.
Hee hee. Cruel, but maybe true.
