Just a heads up for anyone who has Showtime/Showtime on Demand. They have been showing a documentary about 3 ultra runners who ran across the Sahara Desert (west/east, not south/north). It took them 111 days, and I think I read something about averaging multiple marathons per day. I thought it was pretty cool. - AT

Hi guys, It's been a while since I've posted. You need to check this guy out - I just got back from running a few miles with him in Nevada - he's out there RIGHT NOW. On his way from San Francisco to New York. 70 miles a day. Running. Wish him luck, send him good vibes, RUN WITH HIM! URL: http://www.runningamerica08.com/ Cheers, -Brandon

I am interested in getting into some longer running, and am looking for some advice from you Ultra pros. Any advice on what distance to start at, or books that may be helpful for a training plan? "I'm more fun than an iPod!" My blog:http://starsnextbigthing.blogspot.com/
