Return to Tobacco Road

This blog is getting a little dusty, so I figured I'll give it a quick brush off.

Our trip to NC was great. It was wonderful to catch up with Doug and Company, Dan and Pam, and visit with my sister. Isabella was charmed by Luke and they got along like peas in a pod. Chase will be the man, he is a Little Doug that is for sure!!!

Brennan, Doug and I got a chance to throw down at the Cary Road Race and we represented well!!! In the 10k, Doug and I placed 7th and 4th, with times too slow to report. Brennan blazed the 5k course with a new record in 18:13, finishing 2 seconds up on the 2nd female who was trying to make it a race. Hopefully, I can make it back to NC for the Battleship 1/2 in November in a little better shape.

All in all NC was a fabulous time, but there is something about those backroads from Jacksonville to Raleigh!!! Many demons I'd say. They remind me of an old David Lee Roth tune...

I was born in a trunk
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die alone
In the middle of Tobacco Road.

Growin' up rusty shack
All I had was hangin' on my back
Only you know how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road.

I hope everyone is well. Happy Easter Weekend.
