City of Oaks / Rex Half Marathon
Great run and my best race yet. I felt prepared, I had no problems and the day was beautiful - cool but very nice. I got to the start with enough time to find my friends, take a few pictures and talk a bit but not so long I got cold. I felt like I was running well and I really enjoyed the run. I have never had so many folks talking to me and encouraging me it was a really great experience. I PR by 6 minutes - last year I ran this half and it was my first half ever. I had some problems but did finish with a 4:22 time this year I finished one hour faster with a 3:22 time and my fastest ever average pace. I am very pleased with this run. I did really push the pace during the whole race - I was feeling good and really wanted another PR. I am real tired now and hope I will recover enough to have a good race at OBX. I decided to just go for it at City of Oaks - everything was right and who know what the weather will be like next weekend. I am hopping for more of what we had today but will take what we get. Once again I had problems when I stopped running at the end with being light headed and i had to sit down for a while and when I did stand up it was pretty bad. I has taken a longtime for me to feel better and begin to recover. I am wondering and plan to ask my doctor if I may need to take less or no blood pressure meds on the day of my long run. The race it self was very very well done. There was not a single thing that I think should have been done differently. There was not anything wrong that I know of at the race. Well done gang.

Galloway Training Run # 26
Good run but nasty weather today - was raining hard when I left the house but had almost stopped at the run start - it was still cold - was so cloudy it was quite dark when we started - there were less than 50 runners show Meri and I only had two other runners in our group - the route today was the same as last week - I was not pleased we were running the same route again and with all the rain it was going to be a messy run - after walking the the single track section we ran about 100 yards down the trail and the group decided to go back and find so road to run on in the rainy weather that we we felt we would at least get a good workout with less chance if injury - I was running fine but got pretty cold my finger war really hurting when we got back and it took a while for them to stop - we got 6.5 in - was planning on 8 but was just so cold - nice gathering at the store and after the coffee shop -

Team CBC/NCBC Fall MS Ride
Team CBC/NCBC Fall MS Ride
Great ride - it was a beautiful out today - it was a good route - lot of other cyclist - I tried to video the start which made me start about two minutes behind the group that and having some trouble with the que sheet put me behind most of the group - I did caught up with some on the road and at the rest stop - there was only one rest stop at mile 29 which was OK for me but I think others were expecting them more often - the rest stop was well stocked and the folks manning it were great - I did eat a banana with some peanut butter on it - not great for me but I enjoyed it - Turtle preformed wonderfully the adjustment to the heads really fixed the shimmy problem - I had her up to almost 40mph today and she felt great - no problem - I felt really well and was riding great - I felt really strong today - it was a good ride with a bunch of other cyclist and some good friends -
