Ed -
I used to be a member of The Outer Banks Running Club in the beautiful OBX of North Carolina. Actually, I still might be a member but I think it lapsed since I moved back to Virginia. I still run in almost all of the races they put and have a bunch of friends there that are getting more and more into group training runs.
Several of my friends have signed on to do the Tuna Run. I had never heard of it, but it's a 200 mile relay race from Raleigh, NC down to Wilmington, NC. That's nuts. 200 miles and only 6 members on the team! It's going to be a huge adventure and definitely ranks up there with extreme running.
The Captain of the team is a friend of mine named Shane. He and I had the same cancer just a couple of months apart and that's how we met. He was finishing treatment just as I was starting and he really stepped up with support and insight to help me through the whole thing. After I finished up and started running for the first time in decades to rebuild my strength, Shane got inspired and started running, too. He's now "all eaten up with it" as they say in that neck of the woods and is a running machine.
He's also one heck of a production guy and has been putting together videos to promote the Tuna run and his team.
You gotta see this!
