Lumberjack 100


Ummmm, remember THIS....well, Justin and two of his friends left this afternoon to go attempt The Lumberjack 100
...yes 100,
as in 100 miles.
It is part of a series of runs over on the other side of the state....Port Gamble, which is very close to Port Angeles (Twilight),
so I told Justin to watch out for vampires!
Please pray for him, that he can do well....
whatever that means...
he had his big toenail removed a week ago which turned in to a staph infection (and that is problematic when you don't have to go anywhere, let alone try and run 100 miles!)
SO...he isn't going in to this under the best set of circumstances, but I do suppose everything will be hurting once he gets along in the run.

I love him, don't always understand him, but I love him!

There is a 30 hr. time limit for the race, so between tomorrow morning at 8am and 2pm on Sunday please send him some positive thoughts...
positive prayers....
positive juju...
he will need them....LOTS of them!
I loaded "Eye of the Tiger" on the ipod for him as well as HOURS of good tunes, but that was all I could do. The rest is up to him....I decided to stay here with the kiddos, instead of camping out in the middle of nowhere, with 2 babies and port-a-potties, and be alone with them for 30 hrs.
where it rains most of the year and watch my husband torture himself....
maybe I will catch a front-row seat at the next one....
although I hope there isn't a next one....
he does talk about THIS race all the time....
I said he could try that one when he is 40!

Thanks Friends!!!

*****UPDATE: He ran from 8am-3am (19hrs.) the following day and covered over 62 miles. He said his legs were done and crapped out on him.....yeah, I bet! He is on his way home....I better arrange for a wheelchair :)

  1. He and Forest Gump should get together and conquer the USA (again). We love you too Justin, but think you are a tad on the crazy side.
