Shivers Down the Backbone

Fresh off his Tokyo triumph, Jimmy Dean Freeman plans to run 68 miles this Saturday in preparation for his debut in the Western States 100. (Cancelled last year because of fire.) Along with a friend preparing for the Miwok 100K, Jimmy intends running the Backbone trail from Point Mugu to Will Rogers State Park in Santa Monica.  Pace and terrain being what they are, that's about 16 hours of running. 

Speaking of mile-stackers, my friend Tim sent me this link about a man who just reached his goal of running eight miles a day until he reached 100,000. It only took him 34 years. He's now thinking about maybe setting other life goals that don't involve running. 

Kind of like me these days.
