A federal contractor, D.C. runner and content creator has been racking up the miles and documenting the shutdown, which has now become the longest in U.S. history as it entered its 36th day on Tuesday.
Running long distances is normal for Rob Perez. He has run countless races, including ultramarathons and 300-mile races. But he didn’t know he would be running this much when he set off on his challenge to add a mile to his run for each day the shutdown continued.
He has used this challenge to relearn long forgotten civics and government lessons and then share that knowledge in a nonpartisan way.
