photos, and photos to come

If you want to be amused by the sight of me gasping like a landed trout as I race toward the end of my half marathon last weekend, here are the official pictures. Some of them (from the middle portion of the race) aren't too bad, but mostly? I look like a fish.

I have been sick with a cold all week, but have been feeling better the last few days, and today I was bouncing off the walls with boredom and desperate to get out of the house. So Britt and I packed a picnic lunch and headed down to the Aztec Ruins National Monument, a pre-Puebloan site related to both Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde, which despite being only a 40 minute drive away neither of us had ever visited. Surprisingly extensive and interesting. Photos coming early next week, when I get them off the camera.
