A few of you may have already seen this. It was aired last week locally in Seattle and features Scott Jurek, Ferg Hawke, and Mike Sweeney's battle for first place at Badwater. It's an excellent portrayal of the struggles they endure and overcome. There is also spectacular scenery in it.
You have to register on the site to view the videos, but just check the "no spam" box and hope you don't get any. Trust me...it's worth the view. It's about 15 minutes long, so wait till lunch hour at work. 🙂
Have you seen Running on the Sun? I've got the DVD. Even some of my non-running friends and family with whom I've learned not to use the R word lest they cringe, loved this because of the great human stories and personalities.

I firend of mine from Long Island was the one on the DVD that yells out in the middle of night, "where's my *uckin" soup" to his crew. He was spaced out by then not realizing that soup was a lot of miles in the next town and they had only left a minute before.

Did you get to see their butts Doug? Did you watch it "one handed"? Rhetorical of course.

Why does that not surprise me? ;-)
Nick, right? You can tell him half the Pendejo clan would say "Geb who? Shorter? Rogers? Bannister? Which one of those guys goes by the first name 'Nick'? That dude's a *uckin _runner_ - damn!"

Yes, Nick P, the crazy Italian. We run alot of races to together and I mean side by side. He drives up from "Lung" island in the early summer to train with me for the Vermont 100.

He is one tough ass runner. I have seen him during a race where most would prefer to be shot and he just keeps on chugging.
