She Runs Far
December 18, 2006 by Bryon Powell · 3 Comments
Congratulations are in order for my (soon-to-be) trail running phenom of a sister as she ran her first half marathon today. Where do they hold a half marathon the Monday before Christmas, you ask? No where. My sister didn’t need a race to run that far for the first time.
Way to go Gretch! I can’t wait to run in WCSP or up on Bald Pate with you over the weekend.

Did she run carrying that weedwacker behind her feet?
Silly question, Mule. Of course she did! She’s tough. Much tougher than me. Plus, she wanted to get in her Vermont 100 service requirement just in case she decides to run it.
