The Sylamore Run

Today Phil got up at 3:50 a.m. It was about 30 degrees outside and rain was coming in. He left the house, picked up his running partner, and drove 2 hours north to the mountains. He ran 16 miles in the cold, wind, rain and through waist-deep water. It was through the mountains and caverns. At one point that had to scoot themselves across a narrow ledge along a cavern top.

This is fun??

Apparently so - he came home rejuvenated, although he did have to thaw out in a hot shower.
