Midnight Sun Run Update!

Be praying for Kelli and the KBM staff as they continue "roughnecking it" for a week on the mainland of Alaska. Kelli doesn't know this yet but I just checked the results of the Fairbanks 10K that she ran. There were 427 ladies in the 18-29 division alone! Despite all that competition Kelli enjoyed a steady pace that landed her in 14th place! Here time was 46:41.9, what an amazing lady! She can run and still cook a mean dish of Salmon Chowder! You will be happy to know, however, that Kelli will soon be enjoying the luxury of an Olyptical for use on bad winter days (December 1 - May 1, ha-ha). Hopefully this will make life easier on those all important knees. I continue on for two more weeks of classwork in Fairbanks. I am happy to find that this is the only summer I need to be physically present in class, praise the Lord!

Midnight Summer Sun Run

So I did it!  This last weekend Stephen surprised me with a trip to visit him in Fairbanks.  At first I was a bit reluctant because I was so busy at work, but it ended up being an amazing blessing!  The Lord has truly blessed me with an incredible husband!  Anyway, Stephen told me that I should run in the midnight summer sun race.  I of course said NO WAY!  But little competitive Kelli, just had to do it!  

What an amazing experience.  There were over 3,500 people in the race and it began at 10pm.  Of course it was the solstice so darkness was not a concern!  I had such a wonderful time.  It was GREAT!
