Austin, TX -

For all you runners out there who know what it takes to run a marathon, consider this...an athlete carried two car tires on his shoulders in a marathon in Austin, Texas on Sunday.

Michael Ball of Oklahoma says he wanted to do something that would push his mind and body to the absolute limit.

Over 10,000 runners took part in the 26.2-mile race.
