Ultramarathon Man

Have you ever needed motivation to go exercise? Of course; we all do. Do you find stories of people running hundreds of miles at a time while carrying boxes of pizza and cheesecake motivational? Well have I got the book for you!



The truth is, I do find listening to books on tape about ultra-awesome athletic feats motivational. And this is one of the books I have listened to recently.

The author and runner is Dean Karn... Karnas... Carnasis... Karnses... I have no idea how to spell his last name, but boy can Dean run! Here is another picture of Dean running an Ultramarathon through Death Valley in the middle of the Summer. Fortunately, this is before Labor Day.



Notice how he's running on the white line? If he doesn't do that, his shoes will melt. Seriously.

So no more excuses. This guy can run 200 miles at a time. Surely you can work up to running a 5K. So go for a jog. (In case you're wondering, 200 miles is like running 64.37376 5Ks in a row). Go. Now.
