What started out as a great idea ended up being the anchor of a great weekend. It was hard to tell who had the most fun - the participants or the on-lookers. Even the untypical weather was not able to dampen the spirits of those involved. Chad even suggested part of the run should be to abolish the "dreaded bleeb mocus" so everyone should be happy with the results.
ReplyDeleteSorry to have missed this great event. It looks like all had a great time. I'm pretty sure I'm cured and because of that I want to thank all who raced.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great day filled with emotion I couldn't even stay composed during my talk on faith the following day. The cure was just too much... See you in 2009
ReplyDeleteAlthough I thought I felt just a tinch of the Guillian-Barre setting in, it turned out to be hypo-fructose, and a quick 6 ounces of Dr. Pepper cured it. It was great to run past the old homestead in Prov, my eyes misting as memories of sheep, dead rabbits, and deformed ducks filled my mind. Ah, those were the days my friends...
ReplyDeleteThanks to all for the great time, with a special shout out to Tom and Shel for the outstanding packet.
At first I was bummed we had a baptism to attend and couldn't be there. Then I was relieved that morning when I woke up to snow. Now I'm bummed again after seeing the photos.
ReplyDeleteSee you in 2009!
