On May 15, 2022, Daniel completed a [[Denver Colfax Marathon 2022|marathon in Denver]], a ~26 mile / ~42 kilometer foot race. While he was not entirely exceptional at this (he scored second-to-last out of over 150 people) it is still a feat to run such a distance. Clearly, Daniel spent most of it interacting with fans, or otherwise focusing on his phone, as it was in his hand in every photo taken of him. | On May 15, 2022, Daniel completed a [[Denver Colfax Marathon 2022|marathon in Denver]], a ~26 mile / ~42 kilometer foot race.

This is a far cry from him apparently being able to comfortably walk/jog 12 miles in 2020.<ref>https://x.com/DanielL07587071/status/1272296246544302084</ref> That being said, Daniel does walk long distances some days due to his lack of a car and often his [[Daniel's Money|lack of money for the subway]]. This homelessness, lack of changing socks, and walking this much, is what eventually lead to Daniel's [[Trench Foot|trench foot]]. | ||
