OK, I haven’t talked about it here, but I recently started running. OK, recently means back in December/January. I’ve run a few races…three 5Ks and a 10K, and somewhat decent times (for my age group).

Anyhow, as recently as a month ago I said I’d never do a marathon. Just sounded like too much. But, I guess it’s not, since not only have I signed up to run the L.A. Marathon in March 2007, but also I’ve found the new champion of “too much”

Dean Karnazes, author of UltraMarathon Man, will be running 50 marathons in 50 states on 50 consecutive days.

Now this makes me hurt just thinking about it. Forget the pain of doing a single marathon, and the recovery that ensues over the following days. When is this guy going to recover?
