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 Blog

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.
