Mountain R.A.T.S.

Helen's off on this insane four-day ultrarunning stage race. Carrying about an 18lb pack with all of her food and most gear for 3 nights in the woods. Hopefully the weight of the pack will force her to eat a lot and often to lighten the load on her pack, not to mention the fuel and recovery needed for running 8 miles this afternoon, 25mi tomorrow, 25mi Saturday, and another 18mi on Sunday. Ouch. Good luck Helen! Alina and I are spending some quality time together (eating ice cream).
