Grand Canyon and Beyond

It has been a few weeks since Tanya and I posted.
We checked out for a few weeks.
I wanted to bring you up to date on our adventures. Our trekk across the Grand Canyon was a blast. If you have the opportunity to visit and run there, Do it! It will be an experience you will never forget!! Words can't explain the beauty and vast size of the place; so I will let pictures do all the talking.
The Monday after the Grand Canyon we jumped on a plane; and spent 2 weeks on the pink sand beaches of Bermuda. While there we ran the Bermuda Days 1/2 marathon which takes place on the island holiday "The 24th of May". I have to honestly say of all of the races I have run, I had never felt so much LOVE from the crowd. I can't wait to go back and run this race next year.
Note: if your not a local (Bermudian: Tanya is, I'm not) you cannot run the race officially. So I did not get an official time, but it was a blast!!
