Inspirational Runners: Dean Karnazes



Today I would like to honor a special ultra marathoner, who happens to be easy on the eyes, Dean Karnazes. Starting in Disney World in February, Dean has been running across the country rain or shine, covering between 50 and 60 miles a day!!! Dean's vision to is bring attention to becoming active and living a healthy lifestyle. Dean was quoted as saying, "... maybe you can walk around the block after years of inactivity. You can begin to change your ways. I want my message to be something anyone can relate to: putting one foot in front of the other and doing the best you can." Dean has run with children and adults alike across the country with people cheering him on the entire way. He has also earned the title as the 27th most influential person in America, according to Time magazine. After 12 pairs of shoes and 3,000 miles, Dean is set to reach Manhattan tomorrow morning. Two days ahead of his scheduled May 11th date. If you are interested you can watch him cross the finish line tomorrow on Live! With Regis and Kelly.
