Recently I have finished listening to this audio book while on my long runs. This is an amazing description of his journey through all 50 states in America, finishing 50 marathons, in 50 consecutive days. Dean walks you through all the planning that went into this adventure. The book is very well done. He describes all the runs individually stressing on the memorable moments. I thought I got personally involved in the book when he described about a marathon which he ran in Green Bay. I run some portions of the same route regularly. He also mentions about a young runner who ran along with him for her first marathon ever, to my surprise I had seen her run around our neighborhood when she lived in Green Bay. In spite of Dean's stature as one of the best ultra-marathoners of our time. He makes sure the book remains informative even for novice runners like myself. There are useful tips for runners of all caliber and experience to gain. I strongly recommend this book , it surely made some of my long runs go by quick.

    I love this guy. He has a blog on the runners world website. His new years submission about imagining the impossible is totally inspiring. Go Green Bay. I'm from Racine (now live in Italy) and lived in Milwaukee for lots of years. If you run in Wisconsin you can run anywhere! Keep it up! Great blog!
