We went to the Island this past weekend so that Johnny could compete in his third half-marathon race. This one was called the Trail River Run in Port Alberni and was quite a difficult track....parts of the trail were washed-out and we saw a couple of people who left blood on the course. It wasn't his fastest time: I was told he had to slow down in several spots because of the dangerous terrain, plus the fact that the weatherman gave a forecast of 36 degrees for the day.
The kids giving him a hug before the race.
Gearing up.
While we waited, we were able to check out some old cars, tractors and the McLean Mill.
The finish line.
Johnny made "medals" for the kids the night before to thank them for cheering so loudly and for supporting their Dad. We were able to see him at one of the turn-around spots and at the finish. We are all very proud of him!
