My wife, Lauren, works on the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday – every year. It’s a bit of a bummer, but that’s the way it goes. This year, like usual, I was faced with deciding what to do with my 4-day weekend. It’s typically a choice of: (A) driving from my home in St. Louis, MO to visit my mother in Arkansas, or (B) staying in the St. Louis area to spend the holiday with my Dad & his side of the family.
A determined group of 8 runners started out at 9:00 am to run a loop or two ...or 16 at the Foolish Gerbil 100 Mile Run. The air was crisp but the skies were dry for a moment and at least for the first three loops it never rained hard. By the 3rd loop the eight runners had picked up 5 more Foolish Gerbils.
Race report for Chilly Willy 100. Better late then never. I have been waiting for the results of the relay groups and list of names but they seem to be fast on running and slow on submitting. They certainly know how to have a good time so I'll make an exception for them "Kal RATS" this time
The Run. 13 starters. All finished. When we met at Griffin gym, it was pouring, but the rain mercifully stopped for an hour as we did intervals on Mosquito Creek trail. Keegan Freeland was the speedster of the group.
It was a full house last night for the Club Fat Ass Adventure Slideshow and Year End Social at Kintec Footlabs in North Vancouver. Members, members-to-be, spouses and friends, kids and dogs came out to share stories and photos of their outdoor adventures over the past year.
"Rain, No Train" Jackson kicked off the evening by recognizing the people and businesses that support the Club.
This past Friday was the first day of the rest of my year.
I was at a business function for most of the day. People I'd not seen for a while would come up to me and ask, "What's new?" All I could think to say was, "It was an awesome summer, but sadly, it ended yesterday."
Given that Friday fell in the fourth week of October, more than one person was left scratching their head.
This past Friday was the first day of the rest of my year.
