I had hoped to run the Vertical Kilometer (VK) and the 26k, combined with a climbing/hiking trip in the High Sierras with Mark. Maybe this is all for the best, as it will give Mark more time to recovery from his recent surgery. A new thought is to maybe run the 30k Great Trail Race on October 4th, and come out in mid-September for some climbing ... MARK SHOULD BE READY ... right?
