The day started out for Matt waking up at Paxson Lake and snowmachining down to Summit Lake. The weather was glorious, and though there was little untracked snow, he and friend Bruce were determined to find it.
For me back at home, the first race of the running season, the Beat Beethoven 5k at the UAF campus. It was sunny and around 28 degrees when the race started at 11 AM, and hundreds of Alaskans with a severe case of cabin/spring fever came out to have some fun and see if they could cross the finish line before the last note of the 5th Symphony played.
All along the course, there were car radios and boom boxes blaring, and runners were never out of earshot of the masterpiece. A good time was had by all, young and old alike.
