This weekend, a guy I know (friend of many friends …) is doing a crazy thing in Grand Cayman ; let me tell you, this one seriously crazy idea.\u00a0 He is running 100 miles (+-16o km ) starting Saturday morning and will likely finish sometime around 6am Sunday (almost 24 of running!!!)\u00a0 Why would anyone ever do such a nutty thing?\u00a0 Being a (novice) runner myself, I know how tough it is to run just 10km, so add 150km to that (100 miles is roughly 4 consecutive marathons), add the Cayman sun\/humidity and you have one heck of a challenge.<\/p>\n

So, why?\u00a0 its to raise money and awareness for the Cayman Islands Diabetes Association.\u00a0 (C.I.D.A).\u00a0 Awesome idea.<\/p>\n

Here is the route, mile by mile.\u00a0 A much bigger picture can be seen on his website:<\/p>\n

The neat thing is that anyone can run the first 5km with him(sorta) on Saturday AM.\u00a0 How : Saturday AM, in another fund raiser, there is the annual C.I.D.A 5km walk\/run. James Murray\u00a0 – the 100 mile man – will start off on that 5km run and of course continue on for another 155km while the rest of us head for the beach. I will be there running it ; only one week to go before the Cayman Islands marathon.<\/p>\n

So if you are on island are driving around this Saturday, look out for a slow moving van driven by a redhead (Hi Lauren!) and a guy running in front of it with an orange bandana on his head.<\/p>\n

If you would like to donate to this very worthy cause (or just for the fact that a guy is running 100 miles in one\u00a0 session which on its own is pretty hard core …) you can do so here.<\/p>\n
