“Wow! I had a great day on saturday. Starting at 4:20 in the morning, i headed out from where i was staying to catch the bus to the start of the Gary Bjorklund half marathon at 5:00. By 6:46 the flag was dropped, and i was enroute to a 13.1 mile run into Duluth’s Canal Park. I had three goals in mind, one was to finish, another was to never walk, and the final was to finish somewhere between 1 hour and 30 minutes and 2 hours. I was able to accomplish all three, as i crossed the finish line in 1:44:34. My mom and my brother even made it up to Duluth in time to see me finish the race.”
