Last weekend, we enjoyed the Washington Redskins at New York Giants football game in New Meadowlands Stadium (December 5, 2010). It was cold, mid 30’s with a wind chill in the high 20’s. But that didn’t stop us from having a blast seeing the Giants dominate the Redskins.

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
This is my Dear Coach O’Brien letter for the NC State game against Maryland. Can the Wolfpack finally break the “ranked” curse?
When the season started out at 4-0, the Wolfpack nation was reminicsing about the years when Philip Rivers was at the helm. Then, Virginia Tech came to town. The football team was nationally ranked at No. 23 and an 11 point loss later, NC State was faced with a home game against Boston College and fell from the rankings.
I was weary about the team being ranked before the Virgina Tech game. It seems that in years past, the same thing would happen. The Wolfpack would crack the top 25, then lose the next game. In fact, if I had time, I would research the topic a bit more. For this post, I’m focused on the 2010 season.

It’s Thanksgiving weekend and one thing I’m thankful for is having some time to catch-up on some pictures. Yikes I’m way behind!
We seem to be going non-stop and it’s nice to do some photo editing for a change instead of attending a meeting after work. I’ve grouped these updates into two categories: Things we did and NC State football.
Here are some posts from other places that I write, including opensource.com and news & updates from my neighborhood via the Lineberry Alliance Blogs. See what else I’ve been saying around the web over the last few weeks.
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.
One of my co-workers ran the Chicago marathon a few weeks ago. She made a bracelet that had friends and family members names on it for each mile. I’m going to do something similar. Instead of a bracelet, I’ve made a list of friends and family. It’s not in order of importance, but something I’m doing for inspiration.

Thanks for all the encouragement and support. I’ll run each mile of the marathon inspired by the following people: Continue reading
It’s a cold and rainy day here in Raleigh. I decided to work on getting some pictures posted to hibbets.net today (I’m still way behind from the busy summer). Why not brighten up the day with some memories of the Outer Banks?
The first set of photo’s was an opportunistic sunset on Pea Island. My friend Tony and I were wrapping up a great surf session in Rodanthe when we saw the perfect set-up for the sunset. We pulled over at new inlet and got some great pictures.
A new tradition is starting at Carter-Finley Stadium. Are you a part of it? After each Wolfpack first down, the announcer says, “And that’s another Wolfpack…” “…First Down!” the crowd responds. Several sections around the stadium then add something else. Let’s take a look:

I finally got some time to get my pictures from the 2010 Wolfpack football season together. From the opening game against Western Carolina to the overtime loss at East Carolina, we’ve enjoyed tailgating, wins, losses, and the excitement of Wolfpack football.
Enjoy our fun with the Wolfpack Nation as we cheer on NC State: Continue reading
