Operation Jack
I remember one of my friends calling me crazy for my whopping 3 marathon (so far) schedule for next year. How about 60 marathons in 2010?
78-Year-Old Nun Trains Daily For Many Triathlons
This is one sister act that would be tough to follow. With more than 320 triathlons under her belt — 40 of which were Ironman-class events — 78-year-old Sister Madonna Buder is truly something special.

Grandmother Gives Birth to Her Own Grandchildren
I was really touched by this miraculous story I saw this morning on the The Today Show. Kim Coseno couldn't have her own children, so her 56-year-old mother, Jaci Dalenberg, decided to act as a surrogate mother for her — which meant she'd be giving birth to her own grandchild! She was artificially inseminated with embryos created by her daughter and son-in-law.Ruby: The Story of a 500-Pound Woman
Ruby weighs 487 pounds. She doesn't know how she got that big, but she knows it is time to do something about all that weight before it kills her. A new reality TV series, bearing the eponymous title Ruby, is about the life or death story of this woman's struggle to survive.
Midday Muse: Bright Lights in the Darkness
This building, which was part of the Archstoyanie Summer festival, had thousands of holes drilled into the planks that compose its walls. The result?
