Yes, I still need to post the race report! Normally this wouldn't happen, but when you're sick twice within a short period of time you tend to get behind in other things. I'm slowly compiling it and will have it up this week, I promise (and just in time for my next race report next weekend)!
In the meantime, I stumbled across an awesome website and thought that I should definitely blog about it today. Think about running seven marathons in 24 days. Pretty strenuous, right? Now take a look at Don Kern's website, Don's Really Cool Adventures. Kern, race director of the Metro Health Grand Rapids Marathon, is trying to run one marathon on each CONTINENT in 24 days (and yes, this includes Antarctica!) in attempt to set a Guinness World Record for running an organized marathon on all seven continents in the fastest amount of time. Time begins when he starts his first marathon and ends with his completion of the seventh marathon, and his adventure begins today in South Africa!
His website, which includes his blog (scroll down the page and you will see it), outlines the rules that Guinness requires for him to be eligible for the World Record, as well as many of his other marathon exploits.
As a fellow Michigander I'm rooting for him all the way! Best of luck Don, and I'll be looking forward to your celebratory post on November 30!
