126/365 - You talkin' to me?


126/365 - You talkin' to me?, originally uploaded by panodanno.

Did a 10-mile run in the middle of nowhere on this day. These guys were at the turnaround point. This is one hard place to live. One of the ranches around here is at Poverty Flat. It's abandoned (as was this one), but is aptly named.

128/365 - Not quite yet...


128/365 - Not quite yet..., originally uploaded by panodanno.

One day short of a full moon.

We have been on vacation for the last week. So between work and our vacation, I am way behind on my 365 project. Plus, no internet for the last few days... Much to do.

This is the view from our campsite tonight. Yeah, it's amazing. And we are glad to be here enjoying it too. Good to have a Jeep, let me tell you.

Oh, and a four-wheel drive camper too. The sand was pretty deep driving here, but as long as you keep your speed up, you are probably okay. At least that has been our experience.

We have many other pictures of other views/things. I wish I could remember where we have been! Ha, ha! Life is good. It takes some work to get it right, and that's good.

122/365 Wildflower Power!


122/365 Wildflower Power!, originally uploaded by panodanno.

Yesterday Lori competed in the Wildflower long course (70.3) triathlon. She has trained very consistently and hard for this race. As a result, she had to make a trip to the podium for some hardware. Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!

She was given the runner-up trophy last night at the awards ceremony. Today, they show her in third place. Either way, this is an amazing result in a very, very competitive field. Wow! WOW! That is the word.

Here is a picture of Lori and Dorette after their successful race. They both PRed, which was super cool.

70.3 and still smiling!
