Pikes Peak Marathon

Being true to who we are, Mark and I have once again set ourselves on a path of self destruction in what I know to be a classic display of unbridled stupidity. To you non-marathoners that wonder how we could possibly be any dumber, I say ... "How about running one up a mountain??"
The 2007 Pikes Peak Marathon (www.pikespeakmarathon.org) will be an event to remember. With a 7,815' vertical gain and standing 14,410' above sea level, it describes itself as "America's Ultimate Challenge." Trees can't survive above 12,000' on Pike's Peak, on August 19, 2007, Mark and I will find out if we can!


Why do we do it? For the shiny medal of course...
