Dean Karnazes

Just a quick blurb, before I headed off to the gym today for day 8, I saw that Dean Karnazes posted an announcement. Simply put, he is going to run across America. He'll start at Disney Land and make his way to the studio of Regis and Kelly in New York. Total mileage planned, about 3000. Total days planned to do it in, 75 or so.

For those that have the fortune of being near his planned route, which you can check out at the website http://www.dadt.com/live/special/runacrossamerica/index.html , I would encourage you to run a few miles or more with him. I'm planning to meet up with him somewhere around D.C. He's an amazing athlete and a great inspiration to those that have the privilege to meet him.

Also, the overall event coordinators seem to be hinting at planning various 5K races along the route. The proceeds from this amazing endeavor go to benefit Action For Healthy Kids, an organization dedicated to fighting childhood obesity.
