If you can ignore the annoying team in training ad, a good article in the latest Runner's world about the Pikes Peak races. They mention the Arkansas contingent, but I think the Austin crew will overtake them, both in numbers and obnoxiousness, this year. The article is here.
Loved this quote from local hero Matt Carpenter, talking about the race as it rises above treeline at 12,000 feet:
"This mile alone has crushed the dreams of many runners. From here on up it is about wanting to get to the top. If that means running--awesome. If that means walking--super. If that means crawling--do it. Just keep moving!"
Hopefully Matt won't embarass me by testing positive for steroids this year.

Code Yellow will be there next month to climb some 14er's. You should get together with her.Course you might not even know that hasher....
Carpenter's a freak. He flew down Hope's Pass as I was going up and the next person was like an hour later. Sisson's group is going to kick their butts!
Sweet...always loved watching it, now i get to look forward possibly 'running' it next year!
