San Francisco, California
Apologies for radio silence. I can’t even blame it on a defective satellite phone this time. Truth is, the problems with my laptop (still ongoing) had me so bummed (I’m learning to speak Californian, note) that I couldn’t find the motivation to blog. This is a shame, as a lot of really good stuff has been happening. I intend to make up the backlog and bring you up to date, but right now I don’t have time – I’m dashing out to see ‘An Inconvenient Truth’. So, to keep you entertained in the meantime, here is a story to amaze and inspire…
Dean Karnazes is going to run 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days. Read more here.
I’m reading his autobiography, Ultra Marathon Man at the moment – I got it for free from the Timex stand at the Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City at the weekend (of which more later). His feats are incredible. You have to be impressed with a man who can eat a large Round Table pizza (serves 5) plus a whole cheesecake without breaking stride. Ew.
