Running through the dark with Dean

I ran with Dean Karnazes and survived! (Okay, it was only 40 minutes but it WAS dark). We got to hear firsthand how the race through the Sahara was, how he completed 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days, what keeps him moving on some of those aforementioned runs, that his kids like to run, about his health food company, and he confirmed how it all started (15 years ago on his 30th birthday he left a bar in San Francisco after drinking too much tequila and ran to Half Moon Bay...which for all you non-Californians is 30 miles). Quote of the evening: "People respect what I do, but not everyone understands it."
