Seward in July

It's mid-September and I'm finally catching up on posts/photos. I went down to Seward to 'run' Mt. Marathon again. A visit to Seward always includes a visit to the Alaska SeaLife Center.

The night before the race, hopeful Mt. Marathon participants can bid on bibs for the race.

Post-race hugs! Everyone did really well.

We'll see how long I can keep this 'tradition' up every year. 2 down, 8 to go before I'm grandfathered in...
