Endurance 50

I don't know if you've heard of this guy before, but he's clearly a little nuts. Right now he has just run his 11th out of a planned 50 back-to-back marathons. That's right, he's gonna be running 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days. It's being called the Endurance 50. His name is Dean Karnazes and he is an ultra-marathoner. He runs races of 70 to 135 miles at one time.

He's running actual marathon courses in each state and in several states (where the schedule worked out) he'll be running in the actual marathon with everyone else. In fact he will be running the Marine Corp. Marathon with Dane and I at the end of next month. You can even sign up to run with him if you want but I don't think we will. Were hoping to set a good time and not so sure how speedy he is gonna be by then.

Oh, and he's also wearing a GPS watch system from Timex during all of this. You can track his progess and GPS data on this website.

Way Cool!!
