Running with Dean Karnazes


I just registered for this!
He is coming to Riverside, CA this Saturday.  I already have a 10k race on Sunday and my Saturday was already busy with our last game and the team party that will follow it and it was supposed to be a REST day plus we are supposed to get rain all weekend here but I don't care.  There are only 12 Run with Dean 5k runs during his mega run across the USA.  This one is only 30 minutes away from me.  This is a great opportunity.  It is like getting a chance to play hockey with this guy:


So I am going! I hope I get to meet him! That would be wonderful!
If you don't already have his book : "50/50: Secrets I Learned Running 50 Marathons in 50 Days- and How You Too Can Achieve Super Endurance!" is on sale at Barnes and Nobles for $5.38 right now.

Very very cool! I met him at a race expo (Chicago Marathon I think). He's smaller than I thought and very very ripped...but don't tell him I said that. ; )

Woohoo, Dean is the man! I'm thinking of driving down so my kids can see him, but it's not that close to Chicago, so we'll see.
