West of Mars -- Win a Book!

I'm really excited to have a copy of 50/50: Secrets I Learned Running 50 Marathons in 50 Days — and How You Too Can Achieve Super Endurance! by Dean Kanrazes to give away. He's a local author and I've heard him interviewed on the radio. He got started in long distance running after deciding one night to run from San Francisco to Half Moon Bay. When he accomplished the task he decided to see just how far he could run. He apparently goes through a pair of running shoes a week!

1. Contest runs from today through December 6th at 11PM Pacific Time
