July 28th

Jack, Janet and I drove into town early to be there for the start of the day's race.  I may have mentioned this previously but Jack and Janet were running the Bearfest 5k and I was running the 1/2 marathon.  

The weather has been absolutely perfect and today was the start of the current stretch.  It was a bit cool with a light wind when the gun sounded at 8am sharp.

Jack's time was just under 40 minutes - beating his mom by a few minutes and  I ran the half in an hour forty-one, placing first!   It's part of my fifteen minutes of fame.  

After the race, we showered.and headed back to camp.  I let Jack relax with his mom while I worked the remainder of the day out on the road.

  1. Congratulations to all the runners!!
    Glad to hear the weather has been favorable.
    I was wondering....... being the "penny pincher" that I am, how are prices there?
    Cost of gas, milk & basics. ??
    Enjoy the rest of your visit, Janet.

  2. Congrats again for the win, Greg and to Jack and Janet for doing a great job too! So, what was the prize for winning the big one? Cash? A trophy? A big blue winner's ribbon? Or just the peace of mind that comes with being a winner?

    I know your time is getting short up there - enjoy every last minutes of it!
