From my Marathon Archives...

On this day in 2012, Wuzzam and I completed a Metacomet Marathon, with a time of 7:00:00.  

Tippi ran the first section with us, from Route 20 to Phelps Road, and back (about 10.5-miles).  

Weather report was that heating up was very possible - so the Donnalee grabbed Tippi early.  

This was my 46th marathon completed.

Our Route for the Marathon Distance.

Another from the Marathon Archives...

1st Wapack Range End-To-End
June 23, 1996 - Greenfield, NH to Ashburnham, MA

First ever installment of the "Wapack End-to-End" adventure.

80-Degrees, Sunny and Breezy.

I drove up to the event with CP, ready to tackle the challenge.  The Gulliver's really did a nice job coordinating the shuttle between points, as well as the aid stations.

Ran with Curt P and Paul F, finished in 4:54:59.  We lost some time on the top of one of the peaks searching for Paul's contact.

The Inca Khipu - knotted string records of the Inca Empire.  

The amazingly organized Inca civilization of over 10 million people was kept running smoothly through the use of the khipu, essentially the Inca "writing" system.  

But sadly, the world forgot how to read them.  

This episode will explain what they are, what we know about them, and our most recent attempts to crack the khipu code.
