DW Runners

James Adams is an ultra-runner, who is currently running across the US in the Los Angeles - New York Footrace.

I happened upon the blog he's posting daily or so of his progress, and have been spending every pocket of free time for the past two days trying to catch up. His writing is very entertaining, and the undertaking itself is fascinating. Then there are the mindboggling amounts of junk food he consumes :oD

Quote:

I have half mastered mind over matter. If I think about a part of my body it then really really hurts. I think about my foot and all of a sudden a throbbing pain covers the whole sole. I think about my knee and it cramps up and stiffens so I can barely move it. I think about my throat and then it seems to close off and choke me. I just need to be able to do all of this in reverse. In the meantime I will try not to think about my guts spilling out.

I love it when companies make lighthearted hoaxes on their websites on April 1st. Here are two running-related ones:
