Big changes. On Aug 2, we left the great state of Utah and now live in Washington State near the town of Sequim on the Olympic Peninsula across from Victoria Canada. Have a house that overlooks some ponds with lots of ducks, geese, bald eagles and deer and a view of the Olympic Mountains.
Today was our first run up here, was so nice to be out of the Utah heat and Salt Lake Valley polluted air and also to be running in the country and not in the city. We (my son Alex and Denali the Golden Retriever) ran on the county road from my house through a forested neighborhood, took some other roads, then a trail to the beginning of Dungeness Park and then on another county road back to our house. Saw several deer some only a few feet away and lots of hawks as well as gorgeous views of Sequim valley, the Olympic Mountains, near full moon coming up.
And so begins another journey, back at home where I grew up and my roots are. Hope to get back on a more regular running schedule. So long Utah and thanks for some nice runs and races, we may be back at times and hope to run there |
