My chemistry professor is doing this: http://www.ultramanlive.com/. 6.2 mile swim, 261.4 mile bike, and a double marathon over three days. Did I mention she is an ovarian cancer survivor? She trained for Ultraman Canada two years ago while undergoing chemotherapy. She got 3rd out of American finishers and first out of women; she missed breaking the women's record by only a few minutes. She's the chemistry and physics department chair at my school and has two young kids. Now everytime I think "I'm too tired/lazy/busy to run today" I just think of her. Whew!

Oh, wow...it's hard to make excuses when there are people out there (mothers of small kids and college profs, nonetheless) doing stuff like that! Shocked
