First Half Marathon

I have been training for this race for the past month
and I am up to 7 miles. Should
run my first 10 miler this weekend.

Training can be fun but I realy don't
like watching my diet. I want to eat
like a horse. (Not to mention it is
the holiday season) I want to loose 10 lbs
before the big day but so far I just don't
have the willpower. 

Oxford Skatepark

I am excited and jealous at the same time. Oxford, MS has plans to build a skatepark. It should be finished by spring of 2006. http://www.oxfordms.net/recent/skatepark.htm 

Tupelo Skateboard Park

I went to Tupelo this past Friday. This is the park that was finished about a year ago. It is pretty simple but fun. Located in the middle of some soccer fields and behind a museum. Admission is free so that was nice. The ramps are metal and not very forgiving when you fall. I would recommend wearing full pads and helmet if you want to go all out.

Half Pipe

I skated this ramp the most. Great for building strength in your legs. 5ft on the high end and 4ft on the low. 

Simple Ramps

These ramps were about 2.5 to 4ft high.
