many to go. It felt good to get out & stretch our legs again, without worrying about ice & snow on the trail.
We stopped at a place called The Skinny Raven to get new walking shoes for yours truly. A young lady on a bike arrived at the same time, and as I held the door open for her, I realized it was Kikken Randall, silver medalist in the World Nordic Ski Championship. I've mentioned that Anchorage is a big "small town", and I've worked with Rosie Fletcher, but it's the first time I've seen Ms. Randall. I don't think I ever crossed paths with Olympians before relocating to Alaska; you never know who you'll run into, up here.
The walk in Taku Lake Park was refreshing. It was windy enough to prevent the Olympic-sized mosquitoes (our state bird*) from feasting, so the only issue was my own out-of-shape body. That will soon cease, and I'm determined to keep the winter/too many hours behind a desk/lazy flab off, this time.
The girls went with a friend to see the new Robin Hood movie this morning, and are due back any time now. My wife is going to grill some hamburgers for lunch, so have a great afternoon!
*Not seriously. At least, I think not.
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”
