Can a man outrun a hurricane?

So, the Commie bastards are back. That's right, Ivan is at the door. Everyone at work is leaving right now to go to Lowe's and Home Depot and start preparing for the worst case in which the depression above the midatlantic strengthens and Ivan gets pushed a little further west. If a category 5 hits my place, it is going to shred to pieces (it was built by slaves in the 1830's and I am betting that fear of being whipped only generates a modest work ethic) so I have no reason to do anything to my place save some plywood over the 5 windows that don't have storm shutters.

People are already talking about the traffic situation during an evacuation. It was then that it occurred to me that the huricane is only travelling at 8 MPH. Which equates to covering a mile every 7:30 minutes. Well, that is above the pace I have maintained on my longest run this year of 21 miles.

Therefore, I am looking for a bold cameraman interested in filming a documentary about me trying to outrun the hurricane. The first thing this person must realize, is that I will fail. I have not been training very consistently and I have a shin splint in my left leg so I am pretty sure by hour 20 I will have a stress fracture and my pace will fall well below what is required to outrun it. Therefore, this is a get rich or die opportunity. We will head due north which gives us some advantage as the huricane would be heading northeast and the due north vector may only be 8 to 9 minute miles. The cameraman will follow slowly along in a car and will be allowed to provide me with changes of clothes, shoes, food water, etc. We will sleep in the car also but we cannot drive a single foot I do not run/walk/crawl/roll. Eventually the storm will catch us and the cameraman will attempt to film me dodging trees and debri's in an effort to survive. Of course, the winds may be strong enough to throw me and the vehicle about so I am not really sure what happens at that point other than utter danger. I do however know that it might be worth alot of money and it will be fun as hell.

Any takers?
