Quite the weekend

September is past its centre, Summer ends today. How does the seasonal change affect the family? It is two weeks now since Robin was flattened by a speeding Clydesdale, and her broken ribs and thumb seem to be recovering, It seems that she has all the stamina of her sisters, as she is off to do the 10 kilometre Army Run in Ottawa today, as parents we would rather she walked the % kilometre distance, but as her sister ran Boston with a broken arm, we will just wait and see.

It is not as if our other daughters are relaxing this weekend. Susan has been taking part in some 50 kilometer trail run in Kentucky, organised by the man who sets up the legendary Barkley marathon. As far as we know she has finished, and we await all the details in due course. Judy and Harry are part of a support team for a runnner in a 100 mile race somewhere out west, and Judy was planning on runnimg the last 50 miles with the guy they are helping. We believe12 hours that they have finished too.

Of course this week end the bridge from New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island is open for runners in memory of Terry Fox, but Sheila and I decided to give it a miss, this time. A bike hike of 8 kilometers is probably enough for us today.

We now know what actually happened: Judy out for 12 hours and 57 minutes

:Robin out for 84 minutes

Susan out for 12 hours 25 minutes

Tim and Sheila 45 minutes
