Mountain Magic?

Can these old bones take it?

Hey, I bit the bullet and registered to do the 2007 Grandfather Mountain Marathon scheduled for July 14. Figured it would be a good warm-up run after the 50 miler. It's four weeks out so it should be fine.

It's shaping up to be an adventure. The run starts at Kidd Brewer Stadium on the campus of Appalachian State University and ends at McRae Meadows in Linville, NC; the site of the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games.

BTW- Large gatherings of Celtic people scare me. They are a clannish group who like to drink and throw heavy objects- usually farm implements. Highland games gives new meaning to the phrase "We ain't leaving till we're heaving"

Tóg bog é,
