Quick - what were you doing when you were 24 years old?
If you can't remember, it may be that you weren't doing anything memorable. Or it may be that you were having too much fun and those brain cells are forever gone.
Either way, I'm betting you weren't doing what 2007 Carleton College grad Katie Visco is doing right now.
This young woman is attempting to become the youngest female ever to run across the U.S. (3,200 miles!) Although I just heard about Visco's journey today, she actually started in Boston on March 29 and, by running 18-20 miles per day for 6 days/week, hopes to finish in San Diego in December. Good grief.
Along the way she's trying to raise $32,000 for Girls on the Run, a nationwide program founded by Molly Barker to encourage young women to run and to build self-respect through the sport.
Her journey thus far is captured in today's Chicago Tribune.
Follow Visco's journey on her web site PaveYourLane.com.
