Pikes Peak Marathon
August 22, 2010
Today hundreds of morons gathered in Manitou Springs,
Colorado for the 55th annual Pikes Peak Marathon.
Each year this event attracts morons from dozens of states and
foreign countries. The Pikes Peak Marathon consists of a
half-marathon climb to the top of Pikes Peak over rough, uneven,
rocky, and root-filled terrain before reaching the summit at
over 14,000 feet. Once each runner reaches this point, he or she

additional 13+ miles.

explain that although running for near ten hours seems
unintelligent, the fact that he finished the day only about ¼ of
a mile from where he began was ever more perplexing, "at the end
of the day I realized I had spent a lot of money and hundreds of
hours training to move myself a mere quarter of a mile… I'm
beginning to think this doesn't make sense."

can work from anywhere, and I have complete power over the lives
of my viewers. Continue...
