Webster, Bath, Mina.........

What do these SD towns have in common?  They are all places I have run in the past week.  Carrie J and I did the Pumpkinfest run once again, and then the 10-10-10 trail run near Bath, and then the grande finale......1/2 Marathon this past Saturday near Mina Lake.  Whew....it was a bit windy out of the north, but not as cold as it could have been!  It was a great run around the lake.  Who knew there were such nice cabins/houses on Mina.  We even had a train honk at us as it went by (a first).  OK, so we usually look the same in our pics, tired, hot, makeup-less, but here we are anyway.  I think we will go on hiatus until spring. 

Otherwise, we survived Homecoming and school is its usual October whirlwind!  Enjoy the beautiful fall days and God Bless!  I am doing a Bible Study of the Book of Daniel and it is very interesting.  I am learning a lot about Babylon of the past and also the Babylonian challenges of today.  Until next time......

 Webster Pumpkinfest-weather much better than last year.  No ice or snow!



The Locken Farm south of Bath.  They had rugged trails and even camels.  Another first!



 Roncalli Cross Country sponsored 1/2 Marathon at Mina Lake.  We were last (someone behind us dropped out), but VERY proud of our time since we did not train much and it came up at the last minute!

2010 Homecoming Court including Queen Tara and King Wyman...what a great looking bunch!

Check out that JAWS float! Proud of the seniors for their effort, even though they didn't win first! 

Heading into Fall

Wow, it is October!  I hear it may have froze last night, but my uncovered plants look OK.  Last night Carrie J. and I decided to go for a run.  We got a ride to the North Dakota border and ran back to Britton.  There was a north wind, which helped us complete the 10 miler!  It got dark earlier than we expected, and we also had to contend with a dog that wanted to follow us.  Luckily a deputy was fueling up at the cop shop and he took the dog home for us.  Just as we got to town we heard the coyotes howling.  Spooky!!  It was a lot of fun! 

Otherwise, we are staying busy with school, pasture cattle and preschool activities such as dance, library time and other fun stuff.  Tomorrow is our church's Octoberfest which is always fun. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
