Pikermi, Pikerwha?

Last night I had a friend post this comment on my fb status: Get that Pikermi under your belt! Good luck! I was immediately confused...what the heck is Pikermi? I went straight to Google and saw this amazing quote:

Because 13.1 miles should not be considered "only half" of anything!

What an amazing concept! It makes me feel good to know there is a group out there who recognizes that running 13.1 miles is no easy feat and it shouldn't be considered the "lesser" of the marathon races. Amen to that! Don't get me wrong, I'll probably still call it a half marathon but Pikermi sounds super fancy pants. So...I'm running a Pikermi in 18 days!
