Runner spells out ‘Warriors 2017 NBA champs’ with 50-mile route through SF

Runner spells out 'Warriors 2017 NBA champs' with 50-mile route through San Francisco [...] the 48-year-old Englishman ran 50 miles through the streets of San Francisco following a route that spells out "Warriors 2017 NBA Champs." According to his calculations, he has to run 17 miles a day for three years. Along the way, he promotes healthy living and fights childhood obesity with visits to elementary schools to encourage kids to be active. Since Plunkett-Cole usually runs his 20 miles a day in the afternoon and evening, he was typically running while an NBA Finals game was going on. First he went to an AAA office for a detailed map of San Francisco. [...] he headed to a coffee shop with a highlighter and plotted a route that zigzagged across the city. In addition to paying tribute to the Warriors and their fans, the route broke the monotony of Plunkett-Cole's daily runs. "If you were on a run for seven years without missing a single day, you've got to make things interesting for yourself," he said.
