A bit of prayer cover...

Teresa has fallen in with the wrong sort of people lately. As an example, they have convinced her that unless she qualifies and runs the Boston Marathon that her life is simply wasted as well as much other bull not suited for a well bred 52 year old women with kids and an old husband at home to care for.

This morning early she left for Ft. Carson to stay in housing for the night with carousing tomorrowing in the Springs. Half of this crowd have clearances so they will probably stay out of the pot shops but it is widely known this is a drinking club with a running problem.

Sunday morning she will run the Pike's Peak Marathon starting at 6500ft elevation and headed uphill for 13.1 miles of broken trail and switchbacks to 14,500ft and then down the hill to the bottom and the beer.

Sounds remarkable horrible to me. She is absolutely tough enough but the altitude will be killer.

Positive vibes, please. She will need them.
