Bananas for Everyone.
Troy's Run for the Kids
As part of my "Bananas for Everyone" campaign, I am pledging to up the ante and run two ultra-marathons a year which is defined as a distance greater than 26.2 miles. I am doing this to raise funds for a very special organization called Karno Kids - which, as you can tell from the name, was founded by my idol Mr. Dean Karnazes.
Here is Dean’s stated purpose from his website:
“We’ve let our health slip in this nation, especially our youth, and it’s time we recognize the importance of physical wellness as an important life priority and take back our health as a country.”
Hopefully, I can provide inspiration to some kids (and maybe even their parents) that running can be fun and does not have to be “torture” like I remember it when I was in the 5th grade. If I have my way, not another kid will have to “run scared” or become a fat couch potato as an adult because some bozo coach “took all the fun out of it” for them.
I will be running in the following upcoming races:
Nov 16, 2007: Ultracentric 12 hour Run, Grapevine, TX.
March 1-2, 2008: I will be running 50 miles as part of a 200 mile relay team (Texas Independence Relay). The course is from Gonzales, TX (where Texas Revolution began) and ends at the San Jacinto Monument (where Texas Independence was won). |
