New and interesting challenges

Having conquered the marathon (okay . . . I did finish, but not conquered), I am looking for a new challenge. I think we have found our winner!

Joints in Motion is a program that raises money for arthritis research. As a fundraiser, you come up with ridiculous amounts of money and then get to run a marathon somewhere cool. In this case, it's actually trekking the Inca trails in Peru.

My only concern is that my dear cousin Laurel has done this trek, and apparently it's a pack in, pack out situation . . . you guessed it . . . EVERYTHING that you take in with you must come out. EVERYTHING! So that means you-know-what. Of course they don't mention that on the website. You would think the need to raise $6900 would be the most intimidating part, but nope! It is the thought of carrying poop for four days is the biggest concern.

I haven't committed for sure yet, but the information night is November 14th. I think I'll just take the plunge and go for it.
