A Dance with Monkeys

So, The Harpeth Hills Flying Monkey Marathon is Sunday morning. I’m learning about it today because y’all are tweeting us about it: “Will it rain? Whats the deal?” I didn’t know what it was, so I visited the website, and it says “We promise to give you approximately 26.2 tough and memorable miles, with a total of over 3600 feet each of elevation gain and loss, or over 7200 feet of overall elevation change.” read more
