India: Three Year Old Runner

At age three and a half, Budhia Singh has daily runs for seven hours; he can run around 30 miles at a time. Singh's father passed away, and since his mom could not provide for all four of her children, she sold Singh for 800 rupees ($20). One day the judo coach, Biranchi Das, punished Singh for misbehavior; Das told him to run until he returned from working. Das got busy and returned after five hours to find that this young boy was still running. Paying the man who bought Singh from his mother, Das began training Singh and has hopes that one day he will make the Guinness Book of World Records.
