I read the book Ultramarathon Man by Dean Karnazes a few months ago and it blew my mind. Now I see that he's got a movie — UltraMarathon Man: 50 Marathons • 50 States • 50 Days — coming out about running 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days. Amazing. And inspirational as I gear up for what will hopefully be a good milestone time in Tuesday's 10-miler on the way to my goal time in the October marathon. The movie will be in a limited number of theaters nationwide on July 31, including the Showcase Cinemas down in Lowell – close enough to get down and see! Hoping time and schedule will permit.
Here's some more on Dean at his site, and a good video introduction to his approach to ultra racing from a 60 minutes story.
