So, in February I did a half marathon all downhill, at Death Valley. Labor Day weekend, I did one all UPhill, in Santa Barbara. A different experience, but no less exciting. Ferrell and I had planned this one all year, and in fact Rick had paid his entry 3 years ago and injuries had prevented actually doing the race until this year. I had 2 broken ribs, fresh from a bike tumble 2 weeks earlier, and was not at all sure I could do this. But in the end, did it, enjoyed it, and captured the adventure in pictures here.
