Subject: A chance to help an ultra-runner on his journey across the US

I have a fellow NC ultrarunner who is attempting a tremendous feat! He is running solo across the US, with very limited support. He hopes to finish around Christmas time and began his adventure on July 14th.

Doug is looking for friendly faces to chat with, floors to sleep on, and meals to share during his journey. If any of you are located in the following areas and are interested in hosting Doug or at least keeping him company for a few miles, please check out his blog: http://dougsrun.wordpress.com/

Specifically to offer lodging/food assistance, check out this page: http://www.theboogieraces.com/TCHelp.html

If he was within 100 miles of me, I'd drive over and get him a hotel room. But alas.

Did I mention you Ultra marathoners are CRAZY?

Bump...

I passed this guy on the road 2 days ago before I knew about him and he is totally unsupported. Just a guy a 10 lbs sack and a flag in the air... very cool

Fit and I are going to give money to donate a hotel room for him...

Check out his blog and let's step up and help, give a room, a meal or whatever....
