Endurance Fowl on NPR

This awkward looking shore bird (Bar-Tailed Gotwit) has set a new continuous flight record ~7200 miles (Alaska to New Zealand) non-stop. It isn't a tortoise, but it can be another Team Torti mascot.

Two Weeks!!!!

Well...we will be lost in the Georgian wilderness by this time two weeks from now. Look for an update about tracking our progress during the race soon. Also, take time to view our awesome sponsor's/donor's sites (I finally got links posted in the sidebar!).

Fall Fell...But the chill couldn't stop the chillin'

With slight hesitation and concern about possible injury before nationals, I entered, ran and finished 17th at the Fall Fell 7 Mile Trail Race. My Time was 1:12:19. Not great, but not bad. Same as my last 10K!

Up next...Nationals (Blue Ridge Mountains)

We will soon be off to conquer these...
