You would die before you got very far. The earth's crust is 124 miles thick. After that you come upon the mantle (which is about 100-250 miles thick), which consists of molten rock (more commonly known as magma) and is split into three layers: Upper mantle, Mantle, Inner Mantle, each ranging between 600-900 degrees Celsius (or 1,112-1,652 degrees Fahrenheit). Once through the Mantle, you come upon the Inner core which is 1,400 miles thick and made up of Iron and Nickel and has a temperature of 6,692 degrees Fahrenheit. Then you have the inner core which is 750 miles thick and made of solid iron and nickel and has a temperature of about 13,000 degrees Fahrenheit (THAT"S HOTTER THAN THE SUN!)

So as you can see, you would be dead before you reach the center of the earth.
