Now that I'm back into training regularly without experiencing any medical problems (knock on wood), planning and "tempting" others to join me on my excursion can proceed in confidence...hooray! The marathons I plan to run between mid-March and late-April are Rome, Paris and Madrid. Between the runs will be lots of beach time, museum hopping, eating, drinking lots of wine, and generally hanging out in little towns along the way. My buddy Bob Bowker has recovered from his prostate surgery and plans to join me for the Rome and Paris portions of the trip. Both Bob and I completed this year's Humpy's Marathon, the first since our respective surgeries. For Rome and Paris, we'll be joining up with Marathon Tours. We'll also be joined in Paris with my running friends (and fellow tempters) Bill Parady and his wife Salome. I have lots to do to nail down an itinerary, flights, BnBs, etc....it'll keep me busy during the dark, cold, snowy Alaska nights. Actually, they'll be here soon, as the leaves are falling, nighttime temperatures are dropping, and termination dust (snow) will be on the Chugach Mountain peaks really soon...like tonight! Stay tuned for details and those interested in joining us on the trip, JUMP IN!
I finally posted my photos from my trip with Hannah to Washington, D.C.. Check out the slide show at the right.
