An Alaska jogger underwent surgery for injuries he received in what wildlife authorities are calling the first brown bear attack of the season for the region. Marc Johnson said he came upon a sow and her cubs while running near his home on the Kenai Peninsula. "I did what people recommend you don't do," he said. "I panicked." Details at www.outdoorpressroom.com from The Peninsula Clarion. |

I believe I also would have panicked and would have had to have surgery to remove the feces from my shorts!

If I were a reporter I'd think about it. It's one of the most beautiful places in the world. One of my most memorable runs was close to there. A nice 4 hour trail run. There's always the risk of running into a bear, but the views and experience was definitely worth the risk.

My wife won't move anywhere near the West Coast again. Too bad. I truly enjoyed SE Oregon and the area around Point Defiance State Park in Tacoma, Washington (one of Pre's favorite training grounds). And Alaska ... a position opened up this week in Juneau that was made for me...
