Paul's Day

I am certain that my running - daily, races, quests - would not have been as fun or even possible without the fellowship and support of family and friends. Today marks the birthday of one of those family members who has brought boundless joy and incomparable support to many of my runs and, in particular, running adventures. Happy birthday Paul VaughanMiller!

Through the younger ages:
3-year-old Paul running the kids' Kick-Off Classic
High school Paul and mom after Boulder Canyon run





















On the big quest - the run from Boulder, Colorado to Petoskey, Michigan:
The starting line! (Our driveway in Boulder)
Nebraska Sandhills
Cannon Valley Trail in Minnesota


The moment we first saw the Michigan State Line

Or when I ran 60k for my 60th birthday:

Bicycle chaperones at the start of the run (bro-in-law Andy and son Paul)



Or celebrating the final state in my quest to run a trail in every state!
Pre-run frivolity
Starting off on the Fraser River Trail


Or just this past year, when we laughed/walked/ran our way through the Bolder Bolder
At the start
Paul found cupcakes along the course!


It was a very good day when you came into our lives, Mister Paul!
