All College Day Softball

I had a great time playing softball during All College Day. The students from the vet school got together and formed 4 teams. Each team had a faculty or staff member they were named after. Our team was named the Tomcats. I felt honored.

Back at Tupelo Park

(Top) Got a chance to see some of the locals skate. This guy is named Hunter. He skates well for an 11yr old.


(Middle) Showing the locals my board...a little old school with a new skate look


(Bottom) The kids always seem to be amazed that I can get around.

40-45-50

Its nice to know these guys are just outside my age group. We belong to the same running club and they are always a few seconds faster. I am starting to feel like I am recovering from my knee injury. I really want to do my personal best for the next race. I hope to stay in shape till then.

Prairie Arts Mossy Oak 5k

The last mile is mostly uphill but I managed 23:58



You can tell from the start who will finish first...and it wasn't me. Those guys are all legs and very lean

I didn't realize there was someone trying to catch up with me at the finish. He didn't make it.








I like the sign above my head.....like it was reading my mind.

New Board

 
 
 
  

Moosedeck blank painted with griptape stickers, Jay Adams grindking trucks, bones 58mm spfs with swiss bearings. Nice ride.

Tupelo Skate Park

Had a lot of fun today with Michael in Tupelo.
  

I tried out my new board and some new moves.

  

Another Race at Lake Lowndes

One of my favorite places to run. Last time I ran here a white tail deer darted across the road while more waited in the woods for the runners to pass. Here I am giving helpful advice to a young runner as I try to pass uphill. He eventually passed me. Even though I walked for about 30 secs, I still placed 1st in my age group. (There were only 4 of us.) The race started around 8:45am and the temperature was reaching 90.

Camping in the Sipsey Wilderness

Michael and I went hiking into the Sipsey Wilderness for a weekend with the Boyscouts. It was the first time I ever camped primative and we hiked in 3 miles with a backpack. It was a tough hike for me, easy for Michael and as you can see it was well worth it.

 

Phillip on the run

Had a great time playing paintball this weekend. Michael took this photo just as the paintball wizzed by Phillip. I can't believe I missed him.

Cotton District 5k

I ran in the Cotton Mill run today and did OK. I was not in shape but I was at least able to finish.

Having Fun at Hammond Skate Park

On my return trip I am better than before, dropping in and getting close to the coping. I can't believe that I am actually improving and loving this hobby.
