Minnesota Half Voyageur Trail Marathon

I heard a strange beeping sound yesterday and I tried to figure out why my alarm clock had a “4” where the hour should be. Then I remembered. I was pre-registered to run the 11th Annual Minnesota Half Voyageur Trail Marathon. My wife muttered something like, “Run, Forrest, Run” as I got up to eat my pre-race oatmeal. I’ve run a few road marathons, but yesterday was my first trail marathon. As they say here in Minnesota, “That’s different.”
