endurance
I was walking to work yesterday and passed the North Face and saw a sign up for the North Face 50 in which San Francisco resident Dean Karnazes will run 50 marathons in 50 days in 50 states. He’s an amazing athlete who has won the Badwater Ultramarathon (let’s run 135 miles out of a giant valley in 120 heat—yeah that’s a good idea!), but I think this is a pretty ambitious project. It starts tomorrow.
He also has a blog about the challenge. I’ll be interested to see his progress.

In New Orleans I worked with a guy who is now on his traveling crew. He was describing the trip while we worked on houses. It helped us to feel like what we were doing was at least possible, if not relatively easy. Yeah, Dean Karnazes is basically either totally insane or my hero.
