At 4 a.m. Mountain Time, some crazy mountain goats in the shape of humans began “The Race Across The Sky” also known as the Leadville 100 mile trail run.
Competitors will have 24 hours to run the 100 mile distance, which is bad enough on its own, but throw in the ascents and descents since this is being run in the mountains around Silverton, CO and you have yourself a race.
Good luck to all the runners, specially you Brownie.

I finished before the …

I’m not sure how I feel about this website.  I mean, the title is funny and the premise is amusing enough but I’m still on the fence about whether I like the site or not.
If you look at some of the food that’s featured on the site, it’s clear to see how fattening those foods are, but I can’t help but feel like I want to try some of those dishes.  Hmmm, bacon…
Yeah, that’s probably why I’m fat.
You know what, eventually, I’m going to make a post titled “This is …
