I don’t know about you, but everyone at my house is crazy for the Tour de France.  From Stage 1 until the Champs de Elysee we are glued to the TV.  We have been known to watch each stage three or four times a day. As we watched Stage 9 last night, there were times when I felt sick to my stomach.  One especially bad crash involved a car who’s driver must have fallen asleep or something.  He swerved to miss a tree and in doing so, actually hit one of the riders causing him to slide and hit another …Read the Rest

Things have been crazy around here lately.  Crazy in a good way though.  Our business, Glynne’s Soaps, has been growing and expanding.  Last weekend we participated in Azalea Festival, a large two day festival which brings visitors from all over the world.  So the week before we were busy getting ready, the weekend was mainly a blur, and this week has been spent recovering.  We had fun and met a lot of great people, so even with all the craziness, the weekend was a success. About a month ago we adopted a new puppy.  His name is Marshall and he is …Read the Rest

Encouragement in the Face of Tragedy

Encouragement

The cycling community, in fact, the entire community here in Wilmington is recovering from a tragedy.  A little over two weeks ago a father and son were cycling on River Rd.  It is a popular road for cyclists, with fairly wide bike lanes.    Gayle and I ride on River Rd very often.  It is close to our house, so we can ride straight from home without having to pack up the bikes and drive anywhere. Well, these two men were hit and killed (David the father died instantly and Trey his 17 yr old son died from his injuries …Read the Rest

Running

Today was a run day, so instead of doing my usual trek up on down the street, I drove a few minutes to Halyburton Park. It’s a great local park with walking trails and natural areas.

Day One of the New Plan

September 27, 2010
Training

Well, despite the pouring rain, Wrigley and I were able to find a 30 minute window to run in this morning.  It was later than I had hoped, but better than drowning.  We managed 0.6 miles in the 12 minutes of alloted running time, and walked a bit on either end.  We were out a total of 20 minutes and probably covered a little under a mile.  I’m not disappointed, and actually very proud that we made it when I could have just used the rain as an excuse and stayed in bed.  Tomorrow’s plan includes a bike ride, although …Read the Rest

Back in the Saddle Again

September 27, 2010
Training

I have been embarrassingly neglectful of this blog and my training. I could come up with lots of excuses; like it’s been too hot, or I’ve been too busy. But the truth is that I’ve just gotten lazy.

The Sin of Envy

The Sin of Envy

Running

I must admit – I am lusting after something. My strong Baptist background causes me to cringe with guilt, but it doesn’t last long. The item that I desire so strongly is a pair of Vibram Five Fingers shoes.
