Polson, MT 2012


I love Montana in October. This is the south end of Flat Head Lake from our Hotel room. Yes it is time for the annual Live Locally 5km run, 20 October 2012


This year it was Dixie (me), Barb Pilling and Karen Bevans who got to go. This is before the race, waiting in the Rain and really working hard not to get cold before we run. (Kaylynn & Marilee where are you?) Next year, right!? We missed you!



Right after the race! Not cold any more, it didn't rain while we were running thank heaven! Karen and Barb did great! Dixie on the other hand didn't make enough time to run before and therefore didn't do as well as she did in 2010. There is always next year, and I know what I have to do! We had fun and laughs along the way and that is the real reason I go.



Our picture with our new shirts on the dock at the hotel. Such a fun race, and I love Polson, MT. No wind and warmer!!



Only in Montana! Had to record this little gem from the Snappy store in Kalispell. I carry my gun into stores on a regular bases don't you? We found some good buys here though!


Yup you got it, in front of the hotel in Polson, after we cleaned up.
I enjoy this little 2 day outing with the girls! We have fun singing, chatting, shopping, eating, oh and of course running! 

I'm thankful for such great friends, for the fact that I can run, even if it is slow and the chance to see such great countryside! 
Next year, hopefully the WHOLE gang will be able to make it and maybe even some more!

What I learned:
Barb to Waitress: "What's the soup of the day?"
Waitress: "It's Friday!"
Translation, soup of the day on Friday's is Clam Chowder, regardless of the restaurant. Did you know that? I didn't know that!
