Shawn and I spent the weekend on North Carolina's Outer Banks.  The cool people just write OBX.  It's the little spit (actually long spit) of land off the coast of NC.  It's a very nice place!   My favorite part was seeing all the pick-up trucks with fishing pole holders in the front of their trucks (and some behind).   Many drive around with their surf fishing poles sticking straight up in the air.  I think they do go fishing too, but a cooler is never far from the scene.  I really think the fishing is just an excuse to drink beer - and there is nothing wrong with that!

Now class...can you use isthmus in a sentence?? 

I am a bit sore tonight.  I did my long run in preparation for the 5/3 Riverbank run in 12 days.  I did 14.5 miles today - Woo Hoo!  I was happy with my run.  My new training technique is no watch -  no time - no worries and hopefully no injuries!  So far so good.  Actually as I get older, all I want to do is maintain a steady pace.  I think I am doing that so far this year.  That's the nice thing about not timing myself - it FEELS like I am keeping a steady pace and that's good enough for me!

First post on the jimratblog - I hate to leave Yahoo - but it stinks!
