Mad Dash Along the Roof of the World

A fellow running friend sent me a news link today: http://travel.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/travel/article2880423.ece

A new world record of (3days 2h 36min) had been set for a gruelling 188mile trek/ run (~300km) from Everest Base Camp to Kathmandu.

I love such stories. They combine my twin passions of running and climbing in a singular event. Absolutely awesome and inspirational. One day when I've mustered enough courage and conditioning, I would love to try a mountain run at high altitude. :)
