A little T. Jeff in honor of my Charlottesville trip...

"I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage, with my books, my family, and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splended post, which any human power can give."

A Great Race...

I would recommend the Charlottesville 1/2 to anyone interested in trying a long race. It's probably not the best race for a first marathon, though. The spectators are few and far between but the scenery is unbelievable. The course meanders through horse country, up and down a lot of hills, and some of the prettiest parts of downtown Charlottesville. After the race Susan and I met up with my good friend Jordan at WildWings. Unfortunately there are no WW in DC, so we had to get our fix in C-ville. It was a great weekend and I was so happy to see Jordan again. Last weekend we met up in Fredericksburg to have dinner with her parents - also a lovely time.
I was supposed to play soccer this am but we got rained out. I'm kind of happy we did because I'm a little sore.

Charlottesville Half!

I'm running the Charlottesville 1/2 marathon with my friend Susan tomorrow! She is such a fun girl so it's bound to be a great time. I have done a few 1/2's in the past but I hear this one is very hilly so it will be interesting...Send happy thoughts my way at 6:30am tomorrow!
