Run For The Hills

Mount Ascutney, Vermont

Beautiful day here at the summit of another New England peak. And yes, Uncle Dennis does seem to have a monkey on his back, but that's a story best left for another time.

Gibster and Uncle Dave ran well in today's race to the top of Mt. Ascutney. Dave's momentary fatigue pictured below owed to two things: 1) A very strong finish up a particularly grueling trail. Plus, 2) A decided lack of bananas in his diet. You just can't get enough potassium these days. And to think, I taught these guys everything they know about mountain running.

  1. Mikey,

    Thanks for your support at all the mountain races. I'll take your advice regarding the bananas and will leave the hot dogs for Joey Chestnuts.

  2. Mikey,

    As is often the case your wisdom is beyond comparison. What do you think I should do to insure success in my 1st attempt at the Pike Peak Ascent in mid August?
