The Perfect Human

[Capper]

A really good, and really interesting story....

DEAN KARNAZES WAS SLOBBERING DRUNK. IT WAS HIS 30TH BIRTHDAY, and he'd started with beer and moved on to tequila shots at a bar near his home in San Francisco. Now, after midnight, an attractive young woman – not his wife – was hitting on him. This was not the life he'd imagined for himself. He was a corporate hack desperately running the rat race. The company had just bought him a new Lexus. He wanted to vomit. Karnazes resisted the urge and, instead, slipped out the bar's back door and walked the few blocks to his house. On the back porch, he found an old pair of sneakers. He stripped down to his T-shirt and underwear, laced up the shoes, and started running. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Incredible story. But to be honest, when I saw the thread title "The Perfect Human" I imediately thought it was a post about Adrianna Lima.
Somewhat disappointed that it wasn't about her, but still a nice story about human achievement.

crazy... guess as long as his family is taken care of.. I am wondering what happens when he almost kills himself or is literally unable to run anymore...of course people like this are more likely to get hit by a car or something. Amazing story!!!
