I talked your brother for a little while today. I really hope to be flying back on the Thursday for Friday before and will be able to go with you two. If I don't make it back in time though at least wait until I get back to tell Mark that ya'll blew a motor up. I want to be there to see his reaction! lol

Been wanting to go.... but just didn't swing it for this year.
Maybe I can make it to run instead of just watching my first time to the event.
Though I kinda want to see how it all works before diving into running in it

Besides, kinda don't know what they think about the lack of additional safety equipment and running that far into the triple digits.
