Attention all you walkers, and runners! A great event is going to take place next friday, August 31, here in Watertown. Paint the Town Pink, through Codington County Cares, is sponsoring a parade, walk, and 5k run. All in recognition of Breast Cancer, and supporting these women and their families for all they go through, and to show support for them! I have blogged before how our family does the Breast Cancer run in SF every May. It is our families way of showing our support as well for my sister-in-law, who is a breast cancer survivor. As I stated back then, we all know somebody, or of someone, who has breast cancer. Let’s all show our support, and come out in support of them this next friday. Below is a flyer outlining times, etc.
Hope to see you there! Keep moving everybody!

When we stopped on the cruise in Skagway, the 5 of us went on a biking excursion. We went to the summit, which is the road that that is taken as a means of communication to the other 48 states. We did not have to do a lot of pedaling for the first several miles, but really had to be in control of the brakes. It rained on and off, so we have rain gear. As you can see by Molly, at our first stop, we were having a good time. We had passed the steepest point, but we were ready to go over a bridge, and I for one will admit, I could not look down as we went over it. I just kept saying, “keep your eyes straight ahead!”.
This was one of the views we had coming down. Mountains in the background, clouds, of which several times we were riding our bikes through. Very scenic, but as we got past the initial part of the summit, then we had to be pedaling the bikes.
This was one of our stops along the way. Very cool waterfall in the background. We were not used to having to ride in warmer clothes, much less all of the rain gear, but stayed nice and dry. Very fun ride, one we will all remember. And once again, a great way to do sightseeing!
Keep moving everybody, and enjoy the scenery along the way!

The first day we got to Alaska, in Anchorage, we rented bikes that afternoon and went explorer along the coast line. We could see the back on Mt Mckinley, which was 100 miles away. This was going to be our next stop the following day, to see up close. The girls had a ball because they got to ride a bike for 2. It was a great way to get out and explore, and see the sites, and get our exercise for the day. We all had a good time with this. Here are some of the views of Mt Mckinley from the bike perspective.
Keep moving everybody. Will continue with the Alaska exploration.

Back from our 11 day trip to Alaska–land/cruise. It rained 9 of those 11 days, which apparently is typical. Still saw some great sights. Even though we were on vacation, we, me and the family, managed to exercise every day. Again, once it becomes a habit, you don’t think about it. I will show you over the next several posts what we did for exercise, and the sights we saw, and how it made doing the exercise that much more fun, and rewarding. These pictures are just a few of the great mountains scenes we saw.
Here is one where you can see the glacier in front. I will have some close up shots later. Absolutely amazine. Keep moving everybody! It is good to be back.

Year round, there are fun runs, walks, triathlons, bike rides, that it is easy to find some ways to keep busy, and stay fit. Here this last saturday was the annual Kampeska run, 1/2 marathon, 10K, and 5K. It was great weather, perfect day for getting out for a run. Here I am after I won the 10K for my age group. Whether you win or lose, it does not matter. Get out, and try. I am surprised, and of course, when I saw Rhonda Arbogast taking pictures, I had to ham it up a little more. It is all about having fun, right?
Of course, not to even be outdone by myself, here I am holding my winning door prize for the race–a hooded sweatshirt. So everybody, get out, and go have some fun. Whether you are walking, running, biking, it does not matter. Just get out and move. Where have I heard that before? Oh, yeah–me! Keep moving everybody!
