Ordway jogathon
A beautiful sunny day on the BHS track, lots of energetic kids, fresh white jogathon t-shirts, and an orange Sharpie in my hand = smiling for hours. Here I’m telling S. “Good job, kiddo!”
When we drew bright orange slashes down the kindergarteners’ shirts to mark their first lap, they stopped completely and stared in horror and confusion. Grownups writing on me with marker?! It took them a couple of laps around to get used to it.
S’s new blue Chucks.
And A’s hand-me-down Keens. Those things last forevah.
4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, and kindergarteners, you ran so well!

Cycling Spokane
Yesterday morning Auntie M had to run 5 miles for her training regimen (1/2 marathon in Coeur d’Alene this month), so we rented bikes from Spoke N’ Sport on Division Street and had a great Saturday morning ride. There were a lot of people out in the sunshine on the Centennial Trail, some just out for the fun of it like us, and some already in town for Bloomsday.

Running in the rain
My path:
This is the Arch of Arachne, aka The tunnel where you have to employ preemptive spiderweb swimming. Unless you like cobwebs across your face.
The rain I don’t mind. It fell on me and I caught it in my open eyes.

All-Comers Track Meet
Monday night was the last all-comers meet of the summer, and we’re kind of bummed because we’ve had so much fun watching the kids run.
To watch a news clip about the all-comers meet, click here.
(if you’ve got lightning-fast powers of observation, you can see A___ running in a striped shirt, and a close-up of S____’s name in the paper!)
