There is nothing really healthy about this.......

O.K. Make no mistakes about it. There is nothing healthy about running Kiehl's Badwater Ultramarathon.
You have probably already accepted that but it was driven home to me in 2007 at the Badwater pre-races meeting when Lisa Bliss, who has been the race doctor in past years and who ran in 2007, and vocalized the words everyone was thinking.
This is a video about the medical study completed on volunteer runners every year at the race.
It ends with Lisa's comments.
