Grandma's Marathon

Grandma's Marathon is the biggest annual event in Duluth. This is the 35th year. For several years Jane and I been volunteering on Thursday evening before the race in the job of "packet pickup" where runners get their timing chips and documents. We were out Saturday morning but too late to see the leaders go by. It was too cold for us so we didn't watch very long. Friday we heard talks by running legend, Dick Beardsley and Olympic champion, Frank Shorter.
