Well I haven't posted in a while so I figured I take a moment to update you all on a few of the things we've been doing over the past month. Kari made it back from her trip to Idaho for her Grandmas funeral, which she said was a really nice event given the circumstances. The day after Kari got home Mom came up to Alaska to visit us and then up to Prudhoe bay to visit Larry. We had a great time visiting (staying up late). We also went to the downtown Saturday market, looked around then picked some fresh unique blueberries up in the mountains.
We also had some good friends move out of Alaska so we went on a last hike with them up to one of our favorite places in Hatcher Pass called Reed Lakes. We got lucky with the weather (it wasn't raining) and we had a great hike up into some very rugged looking mountains. On the way up we found some really big blueberries that were high bush unlike the ones we picked with mom (low bush) and these ones were so much bigger. We will miss Neil, Emily, Abe and Banjo the dog and we wish them the best in Washington.
Lastly, we are once again training for a race the end of October called the Zombie fun run. Kari will be running the 1/2 marathon, and I'll be running the 50k. This run requires you to run with a partner for the first 1/2 so I was kind or coerced into this one. So anyhow we've been running, running, and running some more. It's amazing at how you can get your body to push it's limits when you have a goal, expectations, and someone else relying on you to perform.
