Lansing Marathon
Last Sunday was the inaugural Lansing Marathon and Angie ran the full race while I ran the half marathon with Chocho. It was a cold, windy day which slowed down the runners, but Angie ran so well she won the women’s masters’ division. Go Ang! Chocho won the dog division by being the only dog in the race as far as we know. I enjoyed all the attention lavished on Chocho, including a big round of applause as we crossed the finish line.
These pics are from a professional web site, and suitably framed copies are just a click away…
Our friend Shari and daughter Gracie look for us and daddy Patrick at the finish line, with Bee and Frankie
A couple more photos after the jump…

Fork in the Road
A food trailer called Trailer Park’d opened a restaurant this winter in west Lansing called Fork in the Road. We’ve been there for Sunday Brunch a couple of times, and the food is outstanding!
This is the Breakfast Sandwich with smoked beef, cheddar, fried egg and burnt onion-- mmm!
We’re glad they are open on Sunday, because Soup Spoon is not! Need to get there for dinner some time soon…
Frankies ringtone
This is actually supposed to be a cowboy song (bum-pa dum-pa dum-pa dum-pa dum, ridin’ over the trail…) But it works nicely as a ringtone.
Happy Birthday Scott!
Happy Birthday!! We love you!!! Hope you like the delicious ice-cream brownie sundae we made for you! Much better than cake!
Will they survive?
Poor daffodils. It has been a crazy winter with lots of warm weather (for Michigan, anyway). We’ve had a snowy 3 days since I took the previous picture, and now the daffodils are covered! Do you think they will survive the rest of winter?

Daffodils in January?
Our daffodils are poking up out of the ground. I took this picture on January 26th. Wow! Of course these flowers have a long few weeks ahead of them…
Running route – Poll [updated]
So last year we ran from East Lansing, MI to Seattle, WA. And this year we hope to add another 2012 miles or more. So the question is where do we run? One idea is to keep running from Seattle and head up to Alaska, eventually making a trek around the world. If we get our 2012+ miles we would get about to Anchorage, and then in the following year we could probably get to the outer edge of Russia. Or, we could keep running but head south, along the coast and run down towards the bottom of the Americas and either come back up the other side or do something else once we got down there. If we did that we would get about to Navajoa, Mexico and then the following year we would likely make it to El Salvador. Or, we could start once again in East Lansing, and head north or east or south or somewhere else. So help us decide before January is done! Thanks!
Its a blowout so far! 3-0-0-0!! All votes so far for around the world!! Im gonna start getting ready for some winter running in alaska. In the mean time, vote if you haven’t! Lets make this a competition!
