Wow...

I met this guy on myspace years ago. He commented on my page and I had totally forgot about him. Check out his website. http://www.fiddy2.org/ He ran 52 marathons in 52 weeks to raise money. Can you imagine?? And he had only run 6 marathons in his entire life before he started this. That's right where I am :) No way in hell would I ever do this. How in the world does his body let him run marathons, week after week, after week???? He's got impressive times too....

Check out this cut and paste from his myspace page!
