Slips, trips and falls on the road to Spartan
By Brady Crain Looking down from the top of Superstar, Crain snapped this photo. It was the middle of his 40-pound weighted-vest hike up and down that trail. At about mile 15, I crossed Route 4 from the Sherborne Pass […]
Omens sometimes fly, get swallowed
It was an eventful week here in Killington, my week starting with an 11 mile run, the basic, Sherburne Pass to Killington Peak and back. It started with me not feeling well…thinking I might only make it about four miles. […]
