HOUSTON, July 24 (UPI) -- A University of Florida student said he will attempt the "joggling" world record by running a mile while juggling five objects in Houston.

Matthew Feldman, an engineering student, said he plans to attempt the Guinness World Record at the Rice University track at 7 p.m. Friday, WKMG-TV, Orlando, Fla., reported Tuesday.

Feldman said he is targeting the record of 7 minutes, 41 seconds for "joggling" -- jogging and juggling simultaneously -- a mile set by Bill Gillen.

Feldman said his record attempt will also raise money and awareness for victims of last year's tsunami in Japan.
