Have you ever heard of the Ben Does Life blog? It's great! You should check it out.
Ben is this great guy, who has a very inspiring story and he is in turn, inspiring many others to get out there and "do life." He made a video of his journey and a 1,000,000+ views later he is appearing on national TV, doing radio interviews, appearing in magazine articles all while he continues to inspire his thousands of fans on tumblr.
Ben is quite a character and he and his father, Pa, and his brother, Jed, are quite entertaining as they jib and jab (and support) each other across their blogs.
I am super excited today because Ben just announced for this summer:
Do Life: The Official Nationwide Unofficial-5K Tour
Thirty 5Ks, in 30 cities in 40 days!
Here's his map:
And I just happen to live in one of those cities! Yay! And doesn't that just fit in perfectly with my goal of running a bunch of races this year?
Yes!
Actually, it sounds more like a happenin' kind of bloggin', kind of happy people kind of event with less emphasis on the race thing, more emphasis on the gathering thing. Which is just fine by me! Ben actually held a similar event in NYC last weekend and it looked really fun from the pictures and descriptions. I can't wait for this summer!
Now all I have to do is talk my family into going with me...
