Here they come! Rae and Gregg.....they finished in 4 hours 20 minutes.

We finished! John got first in his age group!

I am VERY ready for the race to be over!! Almost there...the last .1 mile was on the track.

Rae and Char....we dropped Rae and G off at the marathon start, then went to the start of the half for me which was also where both races ended.

Saturday 06.19, RACE DAY! Didn't have to wake up early since the full started at 8 and the half at 9!

G and Me at dinner

Rae, John, and Judy with the sashes.

Char and John with the sashes we had made for everyone to wear at the race. Rae was surprised!

Friday night pre-race dinner with our group of 11.

A seaplane docked at Lake Hood.

Pretty flowers EVERYWHERE!

Downtown Anchorage

Friday 06.18 we toured around Anchorage, seeing Earthquake Park (with lots of mosquitos), the Railroad Depot, the Ulu Factory, and taking an hour long trolley tour of the city which took us to Lake Hood where seaplanes land and take off as well as other famous places in Anchorage.

After dinner our first night, Thursday 06.17, at Sourdough Mining Company. We walked across the street to see reindeer that didn't move and came across this silly picture spot.
