Dean and Pre are runners that blow my mind; accomplishing feats that I could never even dream of. Dean is an ultramarathoner who ran 50 marathons in 50 days. He might be a media whore, but he can make his body perform amazing things. Pre was the consummate runner-ran every race his own way. Best known for his American record in the 5000 meters, Pre never held back. He once said that he worked so that it was a pure guts race at the end, and that if it was, he was the only one who could win it! Negative splits be damned! I wish I had the balls to run like Pre. Unfortunately I do not have the talent or skill to pull it off.
Closer to home, I have running heroes like Endorphin Dude and my hubby. Endorphin Dude is simply remarkable, running 52 marathons in 52 weeks to raise money for the Peninsula Humane Society where he adopted his Chiweenie, Chewbacca. He's running for a great cause and is having fun doing it-check out his blog.
Mostly I'm inspired by my husband, who finished his first marathon this summer. He did it barefoot AND just months after receiving chemotherapy. Let that sink in-a barefoot cancer patient. Awesome!
