keeping busy

Since arriving "home" to my parents' condo in West Seattle on the 1st I've kept busy with a bunch of tasks that I've added to a very long list of things to do while away. The most exciting is this year's Cle Elum Ridge 50 km trail run, that I am race directing with friends Chris and Marty Fagan. The race will take place on September 16 starting at the Taneum Junction Campground in Cle Elum, WA. Currently we have 63 entrants and are looking forward to some great running, hopefully nice weather and one of the better post run meals (in my opinion) catered by the Canyon River Bakery of Ellensburg.

I also attended my 10 year high school reunion (just before the trip to Alaska). It was wonderful to see former classmates, catch up a bit on what has happened in the last 10 years and reestablish some contacts that had dissipated over the years.

Other than that I've done some cleaning and rearranging; trying to make the condo feel more like home and look forward to visiting with friends and family over the next couple of weeks.
