Carl Peterson finished the 5km in 32:30.
He finished the 10km in 1:11:30. 
And the Half Marathon (21 km, 13.1 miles) in 2:32:30.

It was a great weekend! 

Carl did his part and ran 22 miles in two days, now it's your turn to step-up and show your support for Alex Beaton. To those of you who have pledged we thank you and ask that you now go to Alex's web site to make good on your pledge!

If you didn't have a chance to make a pledge, don't worry, you can still donate to Alex's Rehab Fund!

Go now to Alex Beaton's website and click Donate.

Update - Pledge on Alex's website

You can now pledge directly on Alex's website. Go there now to support Carl's run for Alex's recovery! www.alexbeaton.com

On October 19th and 20th Carl will be running a "Hat Trick" of races in Bethlehem, PA. A 5k, 10k and half marathon (21k/13 miles). Carl asks you to please pledge $1.00 or more for each of the 22 miles he will be running. All money raised will go the "Alex Beaton Rehabilitation Fund". Alex Beaton, as most of you know, is a fellow Scot and entertainer. He suffered a severe spinal injury in the summer of 2011. The fund goes toward his therapy and recovery.

Update & Alex Beaton

Hi folks,
just a few words on what's coming up next. This weekend of course is the Bethlehem Celtic Classic Fri. Sat and Sun. 27th 28th and 29th. I'll be performing Friday at 4.30 in the Grand Pavilion and then again at 7.30 in the Jameson Tent and again at 4 pm on Sat. and 3.15 pm Sun. at the Jameson Tent.

Now I need your help here. On October 19th I will be running a 5km race (3.1 miles) followed by 10km race (6.2 miles) an hour later. On October 20th I will attempt a 21 km run (13 miles). In all a total of 22 miles. I'm asking anyone who might be interested to pledge at least a dollar a mile, or more to raise money for Alex Beaton's Rehabilitation Fund. I can't promise I can finish all this but I have been training pretty hard. The pledges will go right to Alex's website www.alexbeaton.com.  You can check out the Runners World website for results and info on the event at rw.runnersworld.com/rwhalf. I  will add more info in the next few days but lets get behind this for Alex.

For the rest of the fall I have planned some sailing, golf, orienteering and hiking. My last festival will be in Salado, Texas Nov. 8th. 9th. and 10th. but more on that later. Let's get the word out for Alex.
Cheers, Carl

Arrrrrrrr!

Once again, mateys, we've forgotten  that today is "Talk Like A Pirate" day! It's another 50 lashes for me... arrrrrrrr!

Check my last post for some great new pirate stuff: large laminated signs "No Trespassing! Pirate Territory" and "Pirate Parking Only", and of course Pirate Girl signs.

And a bottle of rum!
