Pam Reed is my hero! 
Yo! She did it! She completed the 300-mile, nonstop run. Damn!!!
Details: Tucsonan Pam Reed completes 300-mile, nonstop run (Tucson Citizen)
Oh, and listen to this:
It was the failure of Karnazes to negotiate a sleepless 300-mile run that was a main catalyst for Reed's weekend run. Karnazes, who quit his run after 262 miles, told the Citizen he might have been able to do it if he ran a flat course like Reed. His course was partly in the hills of northern California.
Cat chow, table 5?
UPDATE: More stories:

- Four-day, 301-mile run just a beginning for Reed

- Experts: 300-mile run not for us all : It's hard on the joints and dehydrating, and its long-term effects haven't been studied. (Tucson Citizen)

Wow! 300 miles is incredible. And what a grouch for making that comment about Reed. I hope it was taken out of context.

I hope it was taken out of context, too. Sheesh.

LOL on the cat chow! Pam Reed is truly the bionic woman. I'm slack-jawed in awe of her.

My goodness, what a run, I'm totally in awe! We have an 80K run every summer in the the city near us (Ruppur, by Karlsruhe) that I can only dream about at this point - 300 miles seems unreachable by normal humans! Super Pam!

oh hey i read that too!! amazing stuff. that comment by dean seemed typical. tough to know what the exact quote was though.

I saw Dean on David Letterman less than a week ago. I wonder if Pam will be on there too? She ought to be. Going from the way Dean acted when he was on, I doubt his words were taken out of context.
