Doctors Without Boarders 5k

Tee and I ran in a local 5k race. Needless to say he was way ahead of me. My time was around 26? min. He ran it in 22?. The course was very hilly and I am just glad to be running a little.

Tony Hawk 40?

Tony Hawk was in USA Today this morning. Awesome. I truly admire this guy.

VISTA, Calif. — Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk moves with the power and grace of a jungle cat. As heavy metal rock blasts in an industrial office building here, he swoops down a steep, two-story-high skateboarding ramp that would spook most people.

Other skateboarders hanging with Hawk whoop at his high-flying moves. For two decades, Hawk dominated the ESPN X Games and other competitions. Now 40, he's retired from competing....

A new race this year

The race will be Saturday April 5th around campus. I hope to be ready. I want to train and loose about 15lbs. (Sure, we will see when the time comes.)

Early morning sun

Sam and I enjoy the early morning sun and fall weather during our walk.

Classic

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.
