      Great job Kelly! The whole thing about ultra trail running is learning to deal with the low points because soon up the trail will be high points. It's about learning not to quit. Well done!

      That's great news. I prepped for every Pgh Marathon at North Park, raced the Spring Thaw out there. North Park was always very good to me. Glad they are making a point to protect the athletes.
