If you like trail running at all I totally recommend the Uwharrie Trail Runs. There are 8 mile, 20 mile and 40 mile options. I’ve done the 20-miler a couple of times and man oh man is it tough! Registration opens November 1st and it fills up fast. In fact, a team mate noticed someone familiar [...]

That would be on I-85 approximately 9 miles south of the little burg of South Hill, Virginia. Let me first say that I love my little tri truck and I still believe I got an awesome deal on it due to my most excellent skillz of negotiation. We knew that when the dealer put new tires [...] Went for a nice swim this evening and saw the UNC rowing team out there sculling along like speedy waterbugs. Two boats with two people each and a big 8-person crew. The coach had a megaphone calling out various things like numbers and whatnot. Gary says the rowers also had some sort of amplified communication [...] Lately at the office I’ve been finding people to train with. There’s a small group that does rides Tuesday at lunch and Thursday evenings on the trails. There’s also a runner that’s interested in going on some lunch runs. This is so cool!

I feel like a lazy slug but I can’t afford to get sick right now. One of the benefits of being sluglike is the surprising amount of time I’ve had to putz [...] Wow. Just wow. What a great race.
