A runner and his friends came up with a crazy plan, putting together a fast mile course through the streets of downtown Berkeley (I believe), and the guy ran it late at night, very haphazardy escorted and filmed by the friends. He apparently runs a3:46. They posted it on Google.
The little movie even has a cheesy Eye Of The Tiger soundtrack. It's really err.... something to watch. Don't try this at home.

thanks for posting that david...i thought it was very cool. i grew up in the adjacent town (oakland) and was trying to place those berkeley streets.
i am sure he was running East to West as it's a slight downhill grade....wish they posted the streets/route. looks like he ended up flat & about 2 blocks before Berkeley hits the Bay (Bay Area). Hence my guess is he started around the distance & elevation of where the Campus is...toward the Bay (about 1 mile).
had the look & feel of Solano Ave. however i believe that's 2-way...his running looked like it was on a 1 way street the whole shot.
wouldn't it be cool if everyone did something like this? but did it with your local landmarks in view to give a sense of "place".
Reminds of a piece by the commentator on the now defunct 60 Minutes II. He put a mini-cam on his dog's head to see where it ran into the woods 15 minutes each day. He got his answer, but only the dog knew why he went where the went.

So what did the dog do? Just go to a random, but same location every day that seemed to have no significance?

I guess that. Their sensitive noses give them a whole different map of the world.
Yeah Rick, you need a good nose to shove it into other dogs butts everytime you meet one. You can't get that good 'ol "[censored] smell" without a good nose.

That is classic! Gives one a new appreciation as well for the super-fast who can run that kind of time on the flats...!
Good stuff, though. Looked like a blast...
