Amazing!

Day five began with the third marathon in five days! Wow!! You rock, Brenda!

It takes a while to run 42 kilometres which gave us time for some pictures. Thought I would tell you a bit about Norman. 

We found Norman in Port Alberni. He was owned by a sweet retired couple who couldn't use him. In fact, they never did get to travel with him. Norman is 27 years old and runs like a top. He got some TLC and a set of new shoes for the road. While he is a bit tight for four adults, he makes for a cozy home. And we can pull over and boil a mug up anytime we want!

We sailed through Manitoba on a sea of wheat!

Brenda and Emily finished the final leg! Number three is in the books!!

Ontario next! Rocks, trees, and lakes...lots of each. We had definitely left the prairies.

We had a great lunch in Falcon Lake, a summer land resort right out of a John Candy movie then passed through Vermillion (a Kootenay twin!).

We pushed a long day of driving after the run and we arrived in a place called Upsala. Couldn't see much in the dark but could see the lakeshore. And a clear sky full of stars after a rainy drive. Another run tomorrow: back to back as we approach Thunder Bay and the Terry Fox landmark.
