Food for Thought
Tuesday, May 08, 2007
When I'm having an especially tough workout, or perhaps, during the marathon or Ironman, I'm going to keep in mind what Jason Dorgan just accomplished, and how his body must have felt during this journey -- especially toward the end -- and I am going to keep running, or biking, or swimming. Because a 17-hour race (oh please god let it be less than that) is nothing compared to 11-hour days of running for more than three weeks straight.
Dorgan completed his 1,079-mile through-run of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail about 12:30, after knocking off the equivalent of an ultra marathon every day for more than three weeks.
Check out a full account of his last couple of days at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's "Off the Couch" blog, or visit Dorgan's own blog to read more.
