Today is the start of the Higher Johnson 100! These intrepid souls are heading out to attempt to run approximately 108 miles through the White Mountain National Forest. Good luck to all the runners, but especially Ed(of course), and Conor and Lexie, both of whom are chasing the male and female course records. It's gonna be so fun to watch them over the next couple days!

He's such a big helper!

Just a quickie! 😉

This evening Ed headed to the track for the speed work he always does the weekend before a big race. I didn't feel like sitting there watching him go round and round, so I headed to Pawtuckaway to catch the sunset. On the way to the trailhead, I saw a couple of guys walking down the road. They flagged me down and asked if I had jumper cables. Sure thing! They hopped in and we drove back to their car. They had walked several miles out before they saw me, so they were really happy for the help. I'm wicked glad I happened to come along! They were worried that I'd miss my sunset, though. I'm sure they won't see this, but I want them to know that I didn't. I hiked a shorter trail, sat on my favorite boulder, and enjoyed a spectacular show! Wow!!

This is my favorite time of year - when every day I look out my living room window, and there's a new flower waiting to greet me!
