30th B-day run

On Sat. Oct.20,2007 I decided to make my b-day one I would never forget. So with my wife (Laura) and a loaded jeep, we traveled out to the Grand Haven Beach were I started my journey. I would be running 22 miles which would lead me back to Holland Beach. We called it the "Lighthouse to Lighthouse" run. Laura was my pit crew. She supplied me with proper liquids and snacks along the way. The weather was wonderful with sunny skies and a small breeze. The leaves were all changing colors. It was AWESOME!  I finished in 3 hrs 25 min. Thanks Laura! Love ya.
