THIS IS GONNA HURT!


Well, I'm off to my biggest challenge yet, the Dances With Dirt Marathon, thanks to the coaxing of Steph, who will, from this point on, be known as "Crazy Steph". This trail marathon looks like a scary roller coaster ... high peaks and steep inclines.

Baraboo, WI ... here I come!

I'm really impressed by all your marathon running! I *might* work my way up to one *someday.* I'm taking it slow: 5K...mini tri...10K... :)

Good Luck!

It'll probably be less painful that way!

Gee, Steph, I can't imagine why people call you crazy ... maybe it's because YOU'RE NUTS!

Looks like 21 confirmed registrations for the marathon, so we won't be alone. If we're the only ones who show up, I'll keep you company for the first part, but the last 26 miles, you're on your own!

The altitude profile makes me wonder if crampons would be a good idea. I have a nice pair of FiveTen rock climbing shoes, but they're so tight, I can barely walk in them, let alone do 26.2 in them! Hopefully, looks are deceiving. I've only done to trail races before ... a 10K and a half marathon. These "trailnuts" pride themselvesin making courses incredibly tough. This is my biggest concern.
