The problem with Googling a city with a name like "Elk Springs, Colorado" is that you tend to get any old web page that mentions elk, springs, and Colorado. With quotes around "Elk Springs", it's a little better, but one can still go awry. I was delighted to find this deer photo from a family called Daly, who moved from England to Colorado, with a brief (11 year) stop in Texas, and a briefer (4 year) interlude of RVing around the country. Alas, the Dalys live on Elk Springs Ranch, near Glenwood Springs, not very close to where I am. So I can't use this photo.
I made my 20 miler today, and in fact managed to stretch it to 22.2 miles, my longest run ever. I needed that for my confidences. I know that I can finish the marathon (only 4 miles more than I ran today!) It may not be pretty, and it won't be fast, but I can finish. I think I could have run 4 more today, if I'd had the time.
I did not have the time. I just barely walked in the door, took a shower, and we jumped in the van for our annual visit to the Labor Day Parade in Benton, a little town about 15 miles from here. We love the Benton Parade. We've live in this area for 8 Labor Days, and I imagine that we have gone at least 6 times. Today's parade was as good as ever, marred slightly when the medium Little Jogger was stung by a bee. A round of popsicles mitigated the problem, although it still hurts, and will for a day or two.
