A Hero of Mine

I was first introduced to Dean Karnazes last year at a local bookstore. Ok, I have not actually met him, but I've read his book "Ultramarathon Man." Karnazes runs 100 mile races as if I were running 3 miles. He is an awesome physical being. He amazes me.

Now he is tackling something really big - 50 marathons in 50 days. You read that right.

He is raising money and awareness for his non profit organization - Karno Kids

I'm going to follow his quest with interest. I also hope to meet him when he comes to Chicago for the marathon.

Awesome inspiration.
