I posted this article on my other site at 7 Minutes 2 Fitness and decided it was worth reposting here.

The March issue of Runner’s World has a two-page article about Ed Chicoine and his family, and the Marathon of Health. If you have been following their exploits, you will know that they decided not to complete their circuit by running the last leg from Los Angeles to Vancouver. Hence, they “only” ran 15,000 kilometers!

Ed is a Canadian chiropractor who decide to tun across Canada and the U.S. to raise awareness about obesity and diabetes – twin scourges that he had found in his patients in 29 years of chiropractic work. When he told his family about his goal, they all decided to accompany him. You can read about this incredible achievement in the March Runner’s World and watch a short video about it here:

For more about this family and their epic journey, see my previous post Marathon of Health.

Ed and his family discovered that running is not enough for fitness, and they are now promoting the 7 Minute Workout. To see what that’s all about, go to this link now.
