Quick Hits

Added some additional photos to webshots — ones that my Dad took during the 50. Read an incredibly inspiring book by Lynne Cox — Swimming to Antartica. And started some recon on the West Highland Way Race.

Start Slow and Taper

I made it!  50 miles in 11:38.  I have lots of highlights.  I recently got a new Canon digital camera that also takes little video clips. Here is a tour of the whole event: preface the night before the start

Webshots Turns 10
