Even crazier runs

I posted yesterday on PhillytoLAonFoot about the crazy treadmill run that Dean Karnazes did over 48 hours to try to break the Guinness World Record of 240 miles. While he did run about 211 miles, that wasn't enough to break the record. But really, who else could even attempt such a thing?

This morning I saw a news story in the Concord Monitor about a group of two that are running 124 miles across New Hampshire on October 18 to benefit the Make-A-Wish foundation. It's not a relay and they're not taking time off in between. When they do it, it will be one heck of an accomplishment. Take a look at The Run Across New Hampshire for details.

At first this took the wind out of my sails. I've enjoyed answering the "are you nuts?" questions that are so commonly asked and in being the craziest person I know (save Karno, of course). These guys are even crazier.

But I'd be missing the point if I stayed there. They will likely raise as much as $10,000 for the Make-A-Wish foundation and will accomplish a tremendous feat in a couple of weeks. I couldn't be prouder that they're from NH and doing such an amazing athletic feat.

Look for some more details from them as I learn more.
