The Half Marathon starts at UAA, goes around Goose Lake, across Northern Lights, then down the Chester Creek trails to the Westchester Lagoon where it links up to the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail and

continues down to just before Earthquake Park where you turn around and return using the same course. Start time is 9:22am, sunrise.
The 5K is a pursuit run where everyone running will receive a “Flag”. 5 minutes after the race start the Wolves will be released and they will try to catch you and remove your “Flag”.

Prizes for the most flags pulled buy the Wolves and all runners that return with their flags will be put into a drawing for prizes. Costumes are not required but last year we did a Little Red Riding Hood and 3 Little Pigs Theme.

Dress up…

Well we returned from visiting family in Salt Lake City to find a nice, thin veneer of the white stuff on the lawn and driveway. So the termination dust has made its way down to terminate what was a really great summer. The weather cooperated nicely for all outside activities. I hope you feel the same.

Just a note: We remembered to take our mowers in for a tune up around April, but sometimes that snow blower gets left for years without any similar attention. That is the case around here as Dave checked the oil in the little red beast before we left and it is coal black and the consistency of his coffee. It weighs about twice what the mower does, he will have to wait for our son Chris to help him get it into the Jeep but it IS going to the shop! Last…

Two years ago I told Dave, “I hate to run. I’ve never liked it.” Well now I ARE one. A runner
that is. Not only that but I am working hard at becoming a better runner, such that I have
taken out stock in Skinny Raven Sports. Well not perhaps not that committed, but close.
Dave knows that for the last year, Christmas and birthday presents are easy: Skinny Raven
gift certificates, though this year they would be from REI.


I run races all around town all summer benefiting all sorts of causes. One of the best parts
is I have gotten Dave to run them as well. He does it begrudgingly at times, but he sees the
fun in it…I hope.


We also have got caught up in this thing called Bonny Sosa Tuesday Night Race Series.
It’s amazing, and every fall there are races held all…
