Our Busy Weekend

Hi everyone,

We had a very busy weekend. Saturday morning we ran. Since I am training for the 1/2 marathon, I had to get a long run in. So Saturday morning we got up and met our friends for our weekly run. We went to Shelley Lake. It is a 2 mile loop and I actually did it 5 times. Tom was able to do 6 miles before his feet gave out. There was a nice guy going the opposite of me so everytime I saw him, he smiled and encouraged me. It seems like I am a member of a special club now. About 3 1/2 times around, Fruitcakes by Jimmy Buffett came on my MP3 player and I thought this was the right song for what I was doing. I was a little sore, but not too bad. I think I will be able to do the 1/2 marathon after all.

Saturday afternoon, Tom and I went to the BikeFest downtwon. We walked around and looked at all the bikes that were parked and on display. It was fun even though it seems there were not as many bikes this year as last year. We saw Dee, a lady from the Y. It was nice to see her. She is a very nice lady who always has a smile on her face. That night, I had a girls night out. Tara and I went to see Nights in Rodanthe and then we went to the Ale House and had some nachos and a glass of wine. It was nice to spend some time with her. We hope to catch more chick flicks in the future. It is hard for her to get out with the little ones.

Sunday, we went to the Carrboro music festival. The town of Carrboro is right outside Chapel Hill. It is a very liberal town, so there were lots of Obama supporters. I even took a picture of Mamas for Obama, who were having a bake sale. We met Don and Scherri over there. We had lunch and then walked around and listened to the music. The town had stages set up all over. It was nice to walk around from stage to stage and listen to the music. It was a beautiful day. I love Fall, because the weather is so nice, but after Fall comes Winter which I am not that thrilled with.
