Mid Mountain Marathon - Deer Valley - Park City - Utah

Sept 6, 2008

What a beautiful day for the Mid Mountain Marathon. Starting out signing 3 waivers to hold harmless Deer Valley Resort, Park City Resort and Canyons Resort I wondered if it was a bad omen. But the stars were lined up correctly and conditions were perfect. Not too hot, not too cold. Problem was, I ate a peach right before the race which wreaked havoc on my stomach the entire time. Fell once, but despite all that I improved my time by 30 minutes and came in under 5 hours…barely (4:56). This is always a great feel good race.

Frisbee Golf at Solitude Ski Resort

Finally tried out the Frisbee Golf course at Solitude Ski Resort. We celebrated my brother, Jim, and sister, Dorian’s, birthday up there. Julia and Kevin, Jim’s daughter and boyfriend, provided some expertise and finesse to get us through the grueling 2 hours. They wisely brought tunes and a cooler full of beer to parch their thirst during the ordeal. After losing 3 Frisbees, I mean discs, and finding 2 on the course, we hobbled to our cars and bee-lined it to Chez Louisa for a wonderful bar-b-cue out on the deck.What a great family I have.

The Luxury of La Vista in the Fall

This photo was taken by the guests from the driveway of La Vista as they were loading their car up to head home. They said they enjoyed an amazing week of hiking in the incredibly beautiful fall colors that Brighton is notorous for. Fires at night with great music was all they needed.
