On May 31st, we had a nice treat with a marathon that ran right by our house. Not 10 feet from our front door passed the (26.2 mile) marathon. Jake, Asa, and I cheered on the passing runners, while John and his band (3 Dollar Suit) played music for the runners and their supporters at Serenity Station cafe, just two miles up the trail. A water stop and a port-a-potty were stationed right at our house; which was just fine with us. Asa tried out the potty to make sure it was properly functional. It was.
That's our house on the very right. You can see how close it is to us. We loved it!
This is Maggie. She came running up the trail along with the other marathoners. She wasn't with any of the runners, so I guess she just decided that it looked like something she wanted to be a part of. She pulled over at our house for a breather and some enthusiastic petting. It didn't take long for Asa to declare her as "our new dog!" Sadly, her owner came to collect her about 15 minutes later.
It was a beautiful day in every way; and we are looking forward to next year's run.
