Running The Race

Well, we are back in Tennessee from our annual beach trip. We left on the 11th and headed to North Carolina all 5 of us.

Spent the first night with Mom and Dad before heading to Kure Beach, were we go every year. There we met up with my brother and sisters and their families.

One of the things I find comforting about returning to the same place, year after year, is you know what to expect and can concentrate on the two important decisions, beach or pool and where to eat.

Did get in several runs and lots of good seafood. I tried to do some swimming but the pool was too small. One breath and I was at the other side.

The small town of Kure Beach was quieter than usual. From talking with the motel owner, they have really been impacted by the higher gas prices.

We left the beach on Thursday and rode the ferry across the Cape Fear River and spent the day shopping in Myrtle Beach before heading to Gayle’s Mom’s house to spend the night.

We made it back home Friday evening. After unpacking the car, I ran 4 miles….after riding for 9 hours, I needed to stretch my legs.

Saturday morning I got ran 15 miles and this morning Amy and I rode 21.
