Book Review: Ultra Marathon Man: confessions of an all night runner

Another good book that we read recently was Ultra Marathon Man. This is the story of Dean Karnazes, who is a runner. He runs every day, but not like a 5-10 mile run, but 26 miles to the race, then another 50 for the race itself. He's run across Death Valley, run a 200 mile 12-man team race solo, competed in the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, and run a marathon across the south pole.

Seriously crazy, but very interesting and almost inspiring.

Highly recommended reading.

after reading this book (or parts of it, rather) i have a much higher respect for chris chrom and his brother shawn. those guys are animals. shawn even came in first in the western states at least once.
