Old stuff...

Around the world in 25 Days
November 18 - December 12, 2007. Again, no luck with the world record!  A big storm at the Patriot Hills kept us out of Antarctica for 8 days, so while bettering my record to 33 days, still the world record stands at 30. HOWEVER--the world record for running marathons on all seven continents TWICE is 307 days.  And yes, that was me!

Of course, now I have a chance to do it again!  Darn it!  Read the blog anyway.  It's kinda interesting.  At least my mom thinks so.

My biggest project of the year:

The Metro Health Grand Rapids Marathon!

This website designed & maintained by "Marathon" Don Kern, solely for my own amusement.  You can't buy anything here, (NO WAIT! CLICK HERE) but if you want to stop by and buy me a beer sometime, that would be cool.

Interview on K-LITE in Santa Barbara

The Marathon Minute
a weekly feature on WOOD 1300, along with podcast online.  It's kinda inspirational, even if it is me.

I heard once that you lose 90% of your body heat through your head, so I kept my hat on.

What's the best Christmas gift this year?  It has to be a NoWaterBall from www.nowaterball.com.  These fantastic novelty golf-balls are the perfect stocking stuffer for the golfer in your life.  Take them out on the course and let your golf buddies know you care.  Hoo-boy, those are some great golf-balls. Dan's Movie

Yet another venture of Dan Manning.  After years of writing, finally people are buying his stories.  Check out his stuff at danmanning.com.  Some of it's pretty amusing.
