Fall Camping Fun

I had to try out this kayak that I purchased for the family two years ago. Never used it, so I pulled it out of storage and tried it on the river. Micheal, Julia and I had a great time testing it out. It blows up with air, so it is easy to transport, set up and take down.

Team Inseminators?

I was on a softball team with Vet Students. I thought the name was clever.

Run for Rabies 5k

Sam and I had a lot of fun running together in the Run for Rabies 5k. He came in first. ;-)

Back to Running

My time wasn't great but my son got some nice photos of me heading to the finish line.

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.

Personal Vision on the way to Work

A flower from a hanging basket fell and landed on this small spider's web 

The Gang is Back

Finishing up at Hammond's Dreamland Skatepark before it got too hot. It was 98 degrees when we left at 10:15 am.
