Check Off One of the Bucket List Numbers!
My wife, Deb, and I spent this past week in Wasilla, Alaska. We stayed at a beautiful Bed and Breakfast named the Lake Lucille Bed and Breakfast.
Rates were fantastic, the rooms beautiful, and our hostess, Carol, is the best!!
While we were there we went to the Alyeska Ski Resort in Girdwood. This is a small town south of Anchorage. We rode the tram up to the top of the mountain and Paraglided down to the bottom. Our pilots were Drew and Wil. What super guys!! and a great company to work with. Check this one off the list.
While we were doing this there was a running race going on. The race lasted from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. There were two goals for this race: be the fastest one to run from the resort at the bottom to the top in the quickest time and to run up and ride the tram down as many times as you could in the alloted time.
One hundred and fifty diehard souls were running this race. Last year the fastest time was 25 minutes and the most completed "laps" was 25. Wow!!! Hats off to all of you!
My wife and I are looking forward to coming back next June to run in the Mayors Race in Anchorage. It has a marathon, Marathon Relay, Half-Marathon, and a five miler. The race is run on the Saturday that is closest to the Summer Solstice. Number two off the bucket list????
What a beautiful state to visit. It also helps that my son and grandson live their :}
One last question if you have paraglided before do you like roller coasters? This is what Drew asked me just before we started spinning like the water going down the drain....Yahooooooeeeeee :}
