Tony Morrison has been racing half marathons and marathons with a fridge on his back since 2011, though I had not heard of him until seeing this ​Spikes ​story from four days ago. The Great North Run was his 100th time completing the 13.1 mile course in 100 days--with a 92-pound fridge on his back. Morrison said he usually runs about 10-minute miles in this manner.​
In addition to sharing a name with one of the greatest living Americans, Morrison has a dark backstory. He told ​Spikes ​that after his father died when he was 12 and several family members got cancer, "Demons had been coming in my family and taking people I loved. I needed to create a nemesis, a demon, and take the f***** on" (asterisks theirs)​.
And Morrison still has demons. Last December, he was sentenced for assault after trying to steal a work laptop from a former coworker. That link is worth clicking, and extremely British: "During the struggle Morrison's trousers split open, leaving him exposed as he was not wearing underwear."
The fridge is the last demon Morrison needs to get rid of. He said that in 2017, he'll run from New York to California, and when he gets to the West Coast, "I'm gonna put [the fridge] in a rowing boat, I'm going to row into the middle, and I'm going to sink the f*****."
