Here's a picture of Frank with about two laps to go. He's in his 70's and has run about 30 marathons to date. Once he gets Africa, he'll have run on all "8" continents (7 real continents + the North Pole).

Frank suffered frost bite on his hand and was wearing an insulated glove when we parted ways at the Oslo airport last night. He's a fantastic spirit who always has a story to tell you.

Sorry for the blur.. I had the camera on the wrong setting.
