IM Date - 2/4/09

224 days and counting until the big day.  My ankle is feeling better and last weekend I got to run outside for the first time in 2009.  I barely made my goal to "run outside in every calendar month of the year"...whew!!!  Of course I ran outside both days so I'm good for both January and February now.

Yesterday I helped out a friend of mine who decided that for his 30th birthday he'd spend 24 hours running and try to "run" a 5k for every year of his life.  That's right...your math isn't wrong, 5 x 30 is still 150; 150k or 93 miles.  Well I got up and took my shift running with him yesterday from 4 am to 5:30 am.  He finished yesterday and made it through all 24 hours and putting on more than 80 miles.  Amazing.  That's more than 3 full marathons in just 24 hours time.  Below is a link to some of the news footage.
