No, I'm not referring to the Proclaimer's song "500 miles" - for those of you who ran under Coach Naegle for HHS XC team, there was a 500 mile or 300 mile club. This was the incentive program from June 1-August 31 to keep you training during the summer to get you ready for the fall season. If you completed this - you received a special "500 Mile Club" t-shirt and plaque at the end of the season.
As you've probably seen, Ultra-Marathoner Dean Karnazes has been running cross-country to raise awareness and support for childhood obesity and health. We thought that averaging 5.5+ miles a day throughout the 92 days of summer could be a tough task - especially once you started taking days off and got back-logged on the accumulated miles you now had to make up .
Dean Karnazes completed this same mileage, not in 92 days - but in 10.
