Running in Reykjavik

Running in Reykjavik http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik.html Who knew you would have to get us to Iceland to have a sunny run this summer. From running the 1/2 Marathon (Shannon, Kim and Rian) and Full Marathon (Mitch) along the Faxaflói bay to floating in the geothermal waters of the Blue Lagoon Spa, this trip has topped our adventures list of 2007. Our adventure began with a day of exploring, much like these fisherman used to do as they trawled for cod off the coast http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik.html#0 4d4b72dd-6624-40b0-963c-673fdeea8960 http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik_files/Media/CIMG6633.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik_files/Media/CIMG6633.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Our adventure began with a day of exploring, much like these fisherman used to do as they trawled for cod off the coast</p></div></div> Rian jumped on board this train which was the only one to run through iceland http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik.html#1 74cc0a96-32f7-4253-9dc9-2824430fe2f1 http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik_files/Media/CIMG6635.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik_files/Media/CIMG6635.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Rian jumped on board this train which was the only one to run through iceland</p></div></div> What's not to love about The Cutest Store in Town! http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik.html#2 a2ef307b-4e77-4aeb-bfe8-4e5dfff29a00 http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik_files/Media/CIMG6627.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik_files/Media/CIMG6627.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">What's not to love about The Cutest Store in Town!</p></div></div> Shannon and Flat meet a Viking/Troll on the street http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik.html#3 3367f7c8-e579-4bda-94ae-7a66a0671bf0 http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik_files/Media/CIMG6636.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik_files/Media/CIMG6636.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Shannon and Flat meet a Viking/Troll on the street</p></div></div> Signs for the marathon are all over the town http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik.html#4 90e8ad9d-924f-4012-b1a3-8ba8a0d02f7f http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik_files/Media/CIMG6638.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik_files/Media/CIMG6638.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Signs for the marathon are all over the town</p></div></div> Rian and Kim get in the photo spirit after watching Shannon and Mitch make fools of themselves all day! http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik.html#5 85eb45f9-2197-463f-bbc9-56f8fc24b312 http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik_files/Media/CIMG6640.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Running_in_Reykjavik_files/Media/CIMG6640.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Rian and Kim get in the photo spirit after watching Shannon and Mitch make fools of themselves all day!</p></div></div> Everyone gets free hot water in Iceland!
