My dear husband did it again. He completed the Pike’s Peak Marathon this past weekend no thanks to the weather which turned freakishly cold for August. After blazing heat in the previous weeks he arrived at the base of the mountain and looked up at this:

Snow. Three new inches overnight at 27 degrees. In August.

Still they ran. They ran through fog and rain and then snow and then did it all in reverse on the way back down. He said it was the single hardest physical thing he has ever done. But, he did it!
