Science Experiment

Take one pair of running shoes.

Expose to wet, muddy conditions for an extended period of time.

Put wet, muddy shoes into a plastic bag.

Tie the bag shut.

Put the bag in the laundry room, which is uninsulated and maintains an average room temperature of 50 degrees.

Leave the bag there for a week.

Open the bag, and realize that you've grown grass in your shoes!

 

North Face Endurance Challenge Marathon

26.2 miles of rainy, hilly, muddy trails in 6 hours and 42 minutes equals a really big smile at the finish line.
