I'm a little nervous, but extremely excited. My hope is to enjoy this run. I know there will be times today when my body is hurting, but the truth is I blessed to be able to do this. It's an honor for me to run for Summit Academy. This has been an incredible adventure, both mentally and physically, for me. Today I will do what I never thought I could. I will summit Pikes Peak!
Welcome! My name is Todd Metcalf. This past August I ran the Pikes Peak Ascent, a grueling 13.32 mile race to the summit of Pikes Peak in Colorado. I finished the race in 4 hours and 36 minutes. I did this run to raise awareness and money for Summit Academy. Summit Academy is a school for children with learning differences in Louisville, KY. My inspiration is my daughter Katie, who has learning disabilities and is a student at Summit Academy.

Race Morning
Its race morning and I'm ready to run up Pikes Peak. Beth is going to post pictures on my facebook fan page this morning and update everyone on the race, as much as she can. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Todd-Metcalf-runs-Pikes-Peak-Ascent-to-benefit-Summit-Academy/110310922383500 When I hit the trail, she won't see me until I reach the summit. The race starts at 7:00 AM (9:00 AM EST.).
