It was quite the 80-mile adventure for Austin Police Cpl. Benjamin Mewis from the Alamo in San Antonio to the Capitol steps in Austin and it was all done on foot.
"It took 19 hours and 51 minutes to run the whole thing. It was like a 14-minute mile pace," said Cpl. Mewis.
Cpl. Mewis admits running was not his thing at first. "I absolutely hated running when I first started," he said. He says he went on to run many marathons and even a 100-mile race. He has even implemented running into his day-to-day patrol work. He has run his entire patrol sector, all 573 miles and 1200 streets, as a way to learn the area better.This journey from San Antonio to the Capitol was not a new idea. Cpl. Mewis says he actually tried to do this over the summer but did not finish.
