Race weekend for Gary. Everything he had scheduled for this summer/fall has been cancelled. His big September race was just cancelled this weekend. Add that to our LONG bummer list! This race in Marquette Michigan was cancelled months ago with the option to complete it on your own. Gary was the only one of his friends signed up for the race... until a few weeks ago when he persuaded these three to join him. We've had some hot {mid 90's} weekends. Thankful that wasn't the case this weekend. Look a the beautiful start to their day...

Sunrise on top of the mountain. So crazy. They started around 5am & went all day. The photo of Gary balancing across the log made all of us laugh. We didn't know he had balancing skills.

Trail run fun for all...

And they crossed their toilet paper finish line made by a friend shortly after 7pm. The goal was to finish in 12-15 hours & they accomplished that. I think they were all happy to be done & ready for a shower.

I was feeling bad that I wasn't there to see them finish {while we were soaking in the rays relaxing yesterday!!!} but we can't make them all. The trails were very remote & hard to navigate around. Thankful they had a friend who knew his way around & was able to support them all day. They definitely needed it. Still fun to hear their stories of the day when they got home this morning. Probably the only race they'll get in this year. We'll see! xoxo
