Happy Birthday, Buddha!

What does one do when they are in Korea for Buddha's brithday? First, you must get up and get some coffee at your favorite coffee chain



Next, you head over to the temple. Make sure you take off your shoes, and remember where you put them



Then listen to some music while you get your prayer on



After you are on the level with Buddha, you might as well check out the traditional lantern exhibition, as it is right there at the temple

Robie v. 9.0

The official post-race photo

The ninth year running this awful race. I got a nice slow time of 2:01:45 (my clock) which is #8 on my nine finishes. Only second time over two hours. Sad, but true: Bill is slow.

It was great seeing Michael, Jennifer, Olivia and the Boise gang. Will next year be my last???

Back to Boise

This is year 9. Meg and I fly over to Boise for my 9th Race to Robie Creek. Training has been okay, but I was sick on Monday, so that certainly didn't help. We'll see how that effects my time. Plus, I'm not getting any younger....

It will be good to see Michael and his family. This year will be a bit different with the absence of Mark. He's usually the get-sick-right-before-Robie guy, so I guess I had to take up that mantel...
