Alpine Days 2018

Jonny (20:08), Melody and Gabe and Papa Steve (34:33), Nana Jan, Evy and Gabe and Daniel in the Toddler Trot with Julia and Gabe as helpers, Fonseca Family

We did the math and found this to be our 12th consecutive year running this race! I guess we love it! This year we brought back the tradition of Kneaders french toast after the race. I think that'll stick. :)

Jonny won first in his age group. He came home with the biggest medal we have ever seen. (Not sure if he earned it with a 3 miler! Lol Alpine.) It was great to run with Gabe and my dad. I also got to run and chat with Matt Paskett for a mile or so as he pushed his little one. (Running in Alpine is always nostalgic, but even more so running with one of my old best friends through our old stomping grounds.) I pushed Gabe every now and then to run harder, and he especially zoomed down the cemetery hill. It's a challenging course, but a great one. We loved seeing the Fonseca family there and cheering on little Tessa, along with the buddies and Evy, in the kids race.
