MRTT Little Black Dress Night A new PR - 1:42:52 (and yes I wore the tutu for the whole race!) I got my new personal record (PR) in the 1/2 marathon at the Whistlestop 1/2 Marathon in Ashland, WI last weekend! I ran a 1:42:52, which is over 13 minutes faster than I did my last 1/2, the Gary Bjorkland 1/2 Marathon in Duluth in June! I finished 80th overall out of 1206 finishers, 6th (out of 108) in my age group and 23rd overall for females (out of 805)! Most importantly, I felt like I was flying and I ran faster than I ever imagined I could.

In me thou see’st the glowing of such fire, That on the ashes of his youth doth lie, As the death-bed, whereon it must expire, Consumed with that which it was nourish’d by. This thou perceiv’st, which makes thy love more strong, To love that well, which thou must leave ere long. Winter. Spring. Summer. Fall. We have officially lived in our home in Duluth for over a year and have survived (and thrived) for all four seasons. While there are things to love about each season, fall on Lake Superior's North Shore is one time of year that...
