7.5 in the Dimple Dell Gully. Lots of snow melt in the last 48 hours. Spring seems to be here.

PM: 3 mile walk with Andy to Starbucks and back. Were watching Crimson Tide now with Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman. Andy loves Navy movies. They need to make more because we're running out of them. Ann just left for work. Abby wen't to Glacier National Park with two friends today and it was cool seeing the pictures.

I ran the Snow Joke half marathon in Seeley Lake Montana today. The course turned into an ice rink about halfway in and I was wearing the worst possible shoes. Finally returned to the plowed road with a mile to go and I was able to at least run one mile split in what was my goal for the whole race. Had I known about the course, I would have run the first 5 miles at 6:25 pace.

I did finish 5th in the 40-99 year old age group though. Imagine being the 93 year-old dude who finishes a half marathon and you're all fired up about winning your age group but then you lose to your grandson. Gotta love small town races!
