Kansas is ENORMOUS

Did you ever hear about Dean Karnazes running fifty marathons in fifty days in fifty states?Not too bad, but has Dean ever thought to attempt this......this......and this in less than 24 hours IN THREE DIFFERENT STATES?!Didn't think so.Dean's book is subtitled Secrets I learned Running the 50 in 50. I wonder how long it took to discover the secret that attacking that particular goal is just plain nuts.Yeah yeah, I am quite impressed. But I bet Dean wasn't maintaining his own blog and driving himself to accomplish this feat, which is precisely two of the obstacles I had to overcome to achieved this illustrious trio of runs which I've called "The Three (runs) in Less than 24 (hours) in Three (states)".My subtitle reads: "I Discovered That Kansas is Heinously Boring to Drive Across."Okay back to the road that is big ol' rectangle, Kansas. Mark my words, #TKAtoZ is going to become like the Oregon Trail -- an epic pilgrimage with such a legendary following so as to go on to become a video game.Reminder Colorado, we'll see you Wednesday morning. Weather looks primo and there will be maple. Promise.
