Are you a runner that needs a toaster oven? Good, keep reading. I've got the answer to your question in a story for @runnersworld. Not a runner? Don't worry. I've written this so non-runners can understand it too. https://t.co/6tUCcXgGBd

I accidentally left the stopwatch function running on my phone and when I came back to it, it was still chugging along at 167 hours. Would it keep going forever?
