Dreary week...

It's been rainy all week long. I ran 15 miles on the treadmill on Monday. Wednesday I managed to get in an 8 mile run in between rain storms in Skagway. Along the way I ran by Brett Lyons, my cast mate on the ship.


You can see, we're running along the highway.

It's not a busy highway at all, but it's sometimes adventurous.


The only vehicles that ever seem to pass along on the road are tour busses.

My wife, Jeannie, doesn't like it. Running next to the highway makes her nervous. The real fear for her though is that she thinks there are bears hiding in the forest waiting to pounce on us when we run by.

I keep my eyes peeled, but I haven't seen any bears by the road at all. It's a shame really, because I really want to see a best in the wild. We run next to a large stream and I always run through there hoping to see a bear feeding there.

We saw a couple of bears yesterday as we were sailing through glacier bay. I had to look at them through binoculars and they were far away so they were very small.

I want to see one close up!

I know that's crazy, because bears are fast and might be able to chase me down. I'd like to think though that these bears have not been training for a marathon. If I can keep a steady pace, I figure I'll lose him when he stops for water at the 12 mile marker.
