Hillary and the miles

Just saw on the news a segment on Hillary Clinton's health issues.  They were talking about how much she travels and how exhausting it must be. 

In the last three years she's flown almost 900,000 miles over the course of about 370 days on the road. That's a lot.  In terms that everyone can understand that's like going from New York to Los Angeles every third day.  That's just over six hours on a plane every three days.  It's a lot. 

I fly a lot, but nowhere near what she does.  Even with all the perks she has(a bed on the plane), I'm surprised that she hasn't been sick more often.  I'm surprised she hasn't taken some time on the bench due to "exhaustion".

She is, let's be honest, to be admired for her stamina and tenacity, regardless of your politics.
