craziness

So....believe it or not I ran for 90 MINUTES today!!! We start hills this coming week, but I've been running Canyon Lakes for a few weeks so I'd say I have a small head start. If you don't already know, I'm training for the Portland Marathon and have already raised over $500 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Only $2300 left to go! I ran a root beer float stand at the Yokes in Pasco yesterday and had a surprisingly good turnout. Besides being there for 7hrs, it was kind of fun. The cart nazi was there, bringing in carts less than every 5min and three times almost running into the customers. Several times she also would hurry her way in front of people as they were trying to leave the store in haste to get to the carts waiting outside....people are funny!

I'll try to keep the blogs coming to share the training adventures!

Alaska

So it's been over a month since I last visited my blog (sorry Jill)! I went to Alaska just before Memorial Day to visit my sister. Unfortunately she ended up having to work over half of the time, but I managed to hit the high points of Anchorage. I ate lots of food, including King crab...yummo, and started training for my marathon (see blog to come or visit my site pages.teamintraining.org/wa/portland08/kwellman). The highlights were going to weekend market where I had BBQ corn on the cob, seeing the house with antlers on the roof, and going on a glacier cruise at the end of the trip. I've posted some pics. Luckily I had Memorial Day to recover before I went back to work and I had to work the following weekend. Now it's back to building up the PTO bank for my trip to Costa Rica in November!

...I'll try not to wait so long until my next blog!

Hello...
