Independence Day Half Marathon - Bristol, Rhode Island

State #37

I was fortunate to start 1 hour before everyone else. Being a slow, fat runner sometimes works in my advantage. I was able to “beat” Eric to the finished line.

The course was hiller than I expected, especially after mile 8…last 5 miles were brutal.

The rain held off and it didn’t get too hot, but it was very, very humid.

Bristol is a fun town with red, white and blue lines down the middle of the streets. And all the house were decked out for the 4th of July! A very cool experience!

Some of the family came up to watch the Twins get destroyed by the Texas Rangers on Tuesday for Prince Night. The final score was 16-4. Ouch.

Yesterday I went to see the Twins get destroyed by the Texas Rangers, again with a score 16-3. This time it was my work. But Michael and Tori were also there. Eventually they came to my section to hang out. 

Finn & Reba Update

Finn and Reba are adorable as usually.  I asked ChatGPT to make Reba a Pope so that was fun.  Finn fell asleep on my keyboard while I was working.  Reba was naughty and jumped into the cat food cupboard. 

We had 9 trombones at the chilly Lake Harriet concert. The three of us played trombone 2.
