The Glacier Goddesses at the end of a 26-mile run at Wolf Creek, Montana, in October of 2008. The girls ran separate legs in a team marathon. From left to right, they are: Waverly Shawl, Sharon Tucker (my wife), Melanie Magee, and Angela Thompson.

This was the first time the girls ran together, and the second time Melanie ran the event. They each ran 6 to 8 miles on a county road that followed the path of a beautiful river.

I followed the team and provided water and support for each of their runs. They amazed me with their endurance and competitive nature. It was a beautiful day for a run.
