Happy Winter!

Its Dec 21 and that means..... its the shortest day of the year! Up here in the north country that means that we have 9 hours, 2 minutes and 8 seconds of sunlight! Its the same for tomorrow too, but then we are on the upswing. Come January 1 we will have gained over 4 minutes with 9 hours, 6 minutes and 10 seconds! I won't mention that our sun is not rising until 8:10am now. That is quite a few runs in the dark under the stars. Also, it is our lowest solar noon, with sun only at 23.9 degrees above the horizon. We turn the corner Dec 26 when we hit 24.0 once again. Woot! Ah, the days of summer when we are at 70+ degrees above the horizon! But today its getting up to 40F. I know that January is looking to start off very cold (according to the extended forecast) so i will take these mild winter days with a smile.

Recital

Here's a video of Bee and Frankie's first recital on Saturday at the MSU Community Music School. Lots of family were there and the girls did great! Thanks to Kawai Chan for her excellent job with the girls.

Made to Spokane and beyond!

We made it to Spokane!! 2011 miles for the year 2011!!!!!! I hope you have enjoyed running across the country with us! We need to think up another fun running route for next year!








We hit spokane in the middle of the month and kept on running! We're thinking that Seattle might be possible (2285 miles) but the coast is probably just a bit out of reach (Ocean Shores, what looks to be the closest coastal town is 2387 miles). We've actually gone 2134 miles since January 1, which puts us in Quincy, Washington! This is super exciting because believe it or not, Quincy Washington was name after.... Quincy Illinois (where my sister lives)!!!! Why? I do not know. I cannot seem to figure that one out!
