South Lake - January '08

We went to South Lake Tahoe January 11-14th this year and had an awesome time, as we always do. Alison's birthday was on the 10th, so the trip was to celebrate her 26th year and also to see some of our great friends. We did some skiing, some falling, some snowshoeing, we won some money, we lost some money, we ate some great food, saw snowflakes fall, shoveled a bit of snow, sang, danced, laughed, took hundreds of pictures, slept very little, splashed in the hot tub, and mostly just enjoyed being around our crew of happy friends.

Uuktuberfeist with Spanglerkel

I ran in an Uuuktuberfest fun run this past weekend. Mellissa Spanglerkel talked me into going out there, and I had a great time. I didn't exactly push it, and the only training I did involved curling silver bullets, but I was happy with my time. If you don't know already, it's time you found out that I'm always rushing to get wherever I'm going. This day was no different. I woke up with plenty of time to spare, but I just waited and waited around my house until there was just barely enough time to make it to the start line before the race started. I then realized I didn't have any cash to pay the entrance fee, so I made a quick pit stop by the ol' faithful parents house to borrow $10. Thanks mom and dad. The run was fun, and then I kept things going by hiking up to the Eucalyptus grove at the edge of Montana de Oro state park. Good times. Jeff and Alison need to run next time. Here are some pics.
