Next to Karl Meltzer, All of You are Sissies!

September 17, 2010 By: John Blue Category: General Running News, Ultrarunning

Local runner and writer Sam McManis has an article in today’s Bee about ultrarunner Karl Meltzer’s planned 45-day run of the 1,840 mile long Pony Express Trail.

I know some folks would think this is crazy (my mother, for example), but I’d love to take on something like this! It would be hard to think of something more fun than spending days on the run.

He can do this, of course, because he’s being sponsored by Red Bull in this adventure. I’m not sure who would underwrite the undertakings of a mid-pack runner such as myself. Sadly, I’m not as good looking as Dean Karnazes or as fast as Karl Meltzer.

If someone offered to pay for 45-days of your time, where would you go?

You can follow Meltzer’s progress on the Red Bull Human Express blog.
