Starting at 8 a.m. Friday, Edmonds resident Armando Ortiz began running across Edmonds to raise money for the Edmonds Food Bank. This is no ordinary run, however. Ortiz will be running four miles every four hours for 48 hours.
According to friend Susan Powell, Ortiz is responding to the 4x4x48 Facebook challenge from “his idol” David Goggins, a retired Navy SEAL and the only member of the U.S. Armed Forces to complete SEAL training (including two Hell Weeks), the U.S. Army Ranger School and Air Force Tactical Air Controller training.
