We also have a 5 mile event every August called the Deary Memorial Race, Walk, and Ride.
If you live in Northeast CT, you know how this person and this event coincide.
To raise money for this cancer fund, in which ALL the funds raised stay local to help local people, Scott not only runs the 5 mile course once, he runs it 10 times - do the math - that is 50 MILES!!
He starts out at around midnight the night before the race, does 9 laps over night, with some supportive pals tagging along side, and then completes the last lap (miles 45-60) with the race event runners - and he smokes it!
I think he is amazing - and inspirational....
So, this year to make things more exciting, I am going to attempt to walk the 50 miles as Scott runs the 50 miles. Since the walkers course and the runners course go in the opposite direction, we will pass each other all throughout the night. I hope to be able to get enough supportive and crazy pals to accompany me for a lap each as the night progresses to the morning.... on my final lap I am hoping to be joined by many other of my Putnamania friends and condo neighbors for the 8am Fun Walk.
In my efforts to help Scott raise as much money as possible for this great local fund, I am going to make Putnamaniac Mega 50 cookies - 50 ingredients for 50 miles! (Tomorrow's blog on 5/12/12 will list the 50 ingredients...so stay tuned).
I will give a nice big & as healthy as can be cookie to everyone who donates to Scott for the Deary fund. So, get those donations rolling in to me. They will inspire me in my training process along the way!
