Krispy Kreme Challenge Raleigh North Carolina February 2006

What a day, I arrived in Raleigh on Friday evening, I went over and picked up my race packet for the next days race. The Krispy Kreme Challenge is a running race that benefits the North Carolina Children’s Hospital. The race consisted of running 2 miles, eating a dozen Krispy Kreme Donuts and then running another 2 miles. This must all be done in less then 1 hour. The first Male finisher won the race in just over 27 minutes. The first female crossed the finish line in just over 31 minutes. There were 5,500 runners or 66,000 donuts. As you can see from the pictures eating a dozen donuts is somewhat painful. Here is a short video of the event. Enjoy! Below are three poker hands I should have won and lost. The first two were within a few minutes of each other. $250.00 lost very quickly, I was an 80% favorite on all three hands that means I should of won 8 out of 10 times, instead I lost 100% of the time. The good news is over time I will win.

Canyon Ranch January 2010

This is now an annual trip for the LifeOfDUG. You may remember last year Larry invited me to visit Chephart Yosh. This year I came to Canyon Ranch on my own. We had a great time hiking working out. I did a 15 mile run through Sabino Canyon. The Tucson Museum of Art had an Ansell Adams exhibit which was exquisite.

Chephart has a mystery man in her life he met us at the San Xavier del Bac Mission and then joined us for dinner. The mystery man is a very nice person.
Before I left for my next adventure Chephart Yosh, her friend David, and I did a long hike through Sabino Canyon, Chephart gave me some education on the local birds as well as some unique Cacti.

Enjoy the pictures now I am off to Raleigh for the Krispy Kreme Challenge.



Cheers,

DUG
