The Storm of the Century
The logistics company (the one that provides the airplane and ground support) says this is the "storm of the century" at Patriot Hills (they have live updates at www.icemarathon.com). Mark & I are holding out hope that once it stops we can somehow get on the plane, land on the ice runway (surrounded by piles of 4 feet of snow), get on the snow, run the marathon and make our flight on Saturday... As many of you know, Mark is running this race in honor of his dad who died from cancer after an 8 year struggle. This race is important. It has turned into a quest. My hope and prayer is that it works out for us.... More later....
