Your Performance

I must admit that I did not know who Dean Karnazes when I saw that he was a guest speaker for the Trail of Two Cities Marathon last November. But after I read his bio and see what he has accomplished, I was looking forward to hearing him speak.

While Dean told us that he thought he was a great speaker, I personally found it interesting and inspiring. After his speech, I was very eager to get right, meet and get his autograph. I was ready to stand there until it was taken.

There are two of his books available for purchase and I had to have a copy of "50/50: Secrets I Learned Running 50 marathons in 50 days-and how you can achieve super endurance"

If you have any interest in the marathon, running, event planning, or simply "how in the world did it" stories, you will really enjoy this book. What I really want to know is how it worked out the logistics of getting a physical every state in one day. It almost seemed like the harder part, because if you read what people say about Dean's ability, there's no question in my mind that is capable of running.

The book is fun to read. Not just to give you a fascinating behind the scenes look at how they did it, but it was really good storytelling. Dean himself likable man who has remained humble and true to yourself and your family. We found that people are helping to sell books at a marathon expo are his mom and dad. This is the kind of man who is also dean of the kind of family that is an integral part.

There are wonderful stories about Dean met people who are inspirational in itself. There is a lot of great running and durability information. None of that will help you be able to run as Dean. It turns out that it is amazing to deal with the genetics of lactic acid build-up. It is not in the book, it is Stan Lee's show "Superhumans."

However, the information will help any runner to go longer and further. And if you're endurance athletes of any kind, you will enjoy the story. It would even be motivating and energy for those who are just trying to make it through a difficult time in her life. It's worth reading that will be a permanent part of my library.

Beth Bridges attended by over 2,000 networking events in the last 7 years as membership director and chief director of the Networking the great West Coast Chamber of Commerce. She was runner-up off and on throughout his life and seems to enjoy more and more as she gets older.
