That's pretty phat, beatnik... I don't know if I could handle being pelted with sleet and wind whilst running though. Methinks I ain't tough enough for that sort of thing, although if the prize was more than a Snickers bar I might motivate myself! Alaska is prob worse than TN. Man, I can just envision the black flies if it was run at the wrong time of year!

I always admire the peeps who can run and run and run and not tire... my knees would never hold up to that (though my lungs might), but I can sprint like the dickens!

If there had been black flies that day they would have ended up in another state the wind was blowing so hard.

true!
