    Talking The Running Man

    Pondering life on his 30th birthday and finding something lacking, Dean Karnazes staggered home from a night out drinking with friends, put on his gardening shoes and went for a run. A 30-mile (48-km) run. All night.

    When he survived that, he set his sights on a 100-mile (160-km) race. Then 135 miles (217 km). Then 199 miles (320 km). Then a marathon at the South Pole. Last summer he completed 262 miles (422 km) non-stop.

    "I wanted to see if I could make it 10 marathons without stopping," he said. "It took me 75 hours and the conditions were really tough; it rained for about 20 hours of that."

    Now 42 and running a natural foods company in San Francisco, Karnazes has just written a book called "Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner."
