November was race month for me. A great warm-up for the Outer Banks Marathon was the City of Oaks Half Marathon. A personal best leading into one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done.
The OBX Marathon was a rewarding challenge. It was awesome to have Continue reading
I’ve been running for a only few years now and have 8 half-marathons under my belt. I got the running bug when I came to the Outer Banks four years ago to cheer on Iain Gray in the Outer Banks Marathon. Earlier this year, I committed to running my first marathon. My training has gone well. Today is game day.

I got back to Raleigh around 10:00 pm last night, unpacked the car, then repacked with all my surf gear. I considered driving on through the night, but was tired from the spending the day at Boone DrupalCamp. I caught up with MB and she showed me all the tailgating gear she got for the upcoming NC State football season (which kicks off next weekend).
I set my alarm for 5:30 am, but woke up at 5. I was actually Continue reading
We spent a lot of time on the Outer Banks this past July. Our tans were looking good, we had a good dose of salt water in our bloodstream, and we watched lots of sunsets. We kicked things our with our FOJ (Fourth of July) trip, then returned the next week for an offshore fishing trip. There was another weekend in there somewhere too, we forget.
