Great pics Mike!! Thanks for posting them up for all of us who haven't been anywhere lately (that would be me!). I would love to go camping out there sometime....beautiful scenery, views, and complete peace and quiet! aaahhhhhh....
Sounds like you finished pretty high up there out of 20,000 people! Congrats! So, how long does it take to run a 1/2 marathon?
Rev,
You can camp out at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Just be prepared for some major league hiking. They also have something called the Phantom Ranch down there. You have to make reservations in advance though. They estimate a 9-12 hour hike down and back, so that's why people usually go down, stay overnight, then hike back up the next day.
As for my race... I guess you want to see my time slip???
It took me an hour and 41 minutes to do the 13.1 miles. That isn't bad, but not exactly world class either. I am still stunned I placed so high. Slow runners out west???
At the risk of boring everybody, I would like to post a few pictures of Sedona. A beautiful small town, with plenty of red. They say that is actually rust since it was under water some 300 years ago. I'll take their word for it since I'm too young to remember.
Arizona seems to be a hiker's paradise.
Mike
