06.21.07 THIS GUY’S RUNNING A LOT
Sexy Irish lass Laura pointed out that Dean Karnazes — who you may remember as the guy who ran 50 marathons in 50 days (no? me neither) — is presently on a platform above Times Square, running. Which he has been doing for the last seventeen hours or so.
To kick off the national launch of Accelerade, Dean Karnazes will aim high. On June 21, his goal will be to break the world record for a 24-hour distance run on a treadmill (currently set at 153.76 miles) as well as to raise awareness for Athletes for a Cure, an organization dedicated to finding a cure for prostate cancer.
Unfortunately, he appears to be separated from people on the street, so you can't go heckle him on behalf of prostate cancer.
Oh, and the website also points out that Dean's resting heart rate is 39. Whoopdee-doo. My resting heart rate is 65, and I'm gonna go get drunk tonight. Winner: me.

If this fail does it mean Accelerade, with its patented 4:1 ratio, actually prevent you from running 24 hours straigh and breaking some record?
So sorry to iterrupt, but would anyone like to coach the Baltimore Orioles (A Major Leagure Baseball Team). If interested, contact me.
Peter Angelos
P.S. We have a really nice stadium (and no one to sit in it).
Why do runners always run with no shirt… that's gay.
And, I think I'm qualified to manage the O's. I once was the first base umpire for rec league baseball team in college. What's the pay like? And do I have to travel with the team?
39?
Shit. when I was in the Corps, OOOrah, my resting heart rate was 48. And I drank every single night…(except for the ones when we were in the field, or guard duty) and I ate food that was bad for me. My resting today is similar to yours, somewhere around 60-64 depending on whether the cute girl on my isle is where something provocative or just jeans.
