While running on the treadmill, Dean will be available for media interviews and questions.  A long time consumer, The Greek Gods® Greek-Style Yogurt is part of his pre-race meal of choice.  "The Greek Gods plain, Greek-Style yogurt is my personal favorite because it is natural yogurt made with whole milk. I find that the low-fat and fat-free yogurts don't satiate me and sustain my energy levels the way yogurt made with whole milk does," said Dean Karnazes.
