Friday, March 4. 2011 Almost two weeks have passed since my last update? Sheesh, where does the time go? I’m just coming to the end of week 2 of my 12-week half marathon training program, and things are going well. I’m quite a bit faster than I anticipated I’d be (more about that in another post) and I’m not having any leg-related issues. However, I’m about to start creeping into the weekly mileage danger zone and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t concerned. Fingers crossed. Last Saturday, we spent the afternoon in Copper Harbor tromping around Fort Wilkins, boozing at Zik’s and cheering James on in the Backcountry Ski Race. He came in first in the downhill race and second overall. Yay James! There’s lots of photos in the gallery, but here are some of my favorites. Orange juice? No, bottom of the barrel Bell’s Winter Wheat. Um, pass.
This weekend is the Copper Dog 150 and we’re helping out with amateur radio controls. I have a primo control point on the Mohawk/Gay Road so I’ll be able to get a good look at the teams as they go through. It’s going to be a late night, though, the last team isn’t scheduled to go through my checkpoint until 12:30AM! Monday, February 23. 2009
After two failed attempts, I finally found the Oskar Cemetery today on my tromp through the woods. I also explored two new trails. Much excitement!
The snowmobilers have been very busy. The trail looks like I-75 with all the motorized tracks.

Our cold spell finally passed on Sunday and it was a beautiful, sunny, blue-skied, 23 degree day. The perfect day for another tromp through the woods on my snowshoes. I bought some gaiters, but they were too small to even fit around my calves. I guess I must have man-calves. Gotta get me some gaiters. I also got a new camera, so I was messing around with the macro function, thanks to the tiny pine cones I found. I tried to find the cemetery and ended up taking two wrong trails before finally giving up and heading back. The good news is that I think I did end up finding the trail to the cemetery, so next weekend I'll take another stab at getting there. In all, I tromped around for 3.25 miles and got to spend two hours outside on a really nice day.
