Mike Shea marathon. People crowd around Mike Shea to congratulate him at the original Poodle Dog Cafe in Fife. He had just concluded a fast walk from the Olympus Hotel in downtown Tacoma to Fife's Century Ballroom in just short of an hour. Mike looks barely winded after his 4.6 mile journey. 20 carloads of supporters in addition to police traveled with him in the late night escapade. He won a $10 bet for his efforts.
