Uncle Den and his friend Chris look like they are raring to go. These photos were taken at a half-marathon in Luxembourg (that's 13 miles for the uninitiated.) Den ran and Carol photographed. I think she may have had the more difficult job. It is very hard to get a picture of someone running, but I consider her work excellent because we can see what the environment was like, what kind of people were there and, most important, Uncle Denny.
Den tells me the race was called "the night run" and is held annually in Luxembourg. It gets its name because it begins
in early evening and goes until after midnight. Your uncle ran 21K in 2 hours 8 minutes. 2,995 runners, out of 7,000 who competed, finished ahead of him. He was happy to be in the upper half of the class.Some of you may recall that the Denny Seagles had a Lincolnshire neighbor, Chris Carr, who became an airline pilot. He flew all the way to Luxembourg to compete. Also, Uncle Jeff and Jonny, on a tour of European WWII Battlefields, stopped by to cheer Den on.
Running must be in Den's blood. His next planned event is a full marathon at the end of August called "The Hunsruck Marathon." It goes through some hilly German countryside near the German/French border. I'm hoping for more pictures then.Love you all, Grandma for Grandpa and me
