Where's Autumn?

Michelle, Ricky and I were pleased to welcome Rhett to the group. We had a serious day of running. The "short" loop was 14 miles. Ricky and I were going at a fairly serious clip when Tom Mather caught us at the base of the bridge and ran with us back into Charleston. As you might guess, the pace picked up even more as Tom and Ricky began channelling Ryan Hall and Dathan Ritzenhein. I was apparently channelling Elmer Fudd and struggled badly for the last three miles. I was a zombie for the rest of the day.

Can't wait to do it again this Sunday. Hope to see everyone out there.

Asheville

Had a great time at the Asheville Half. The Charleston crowd was representin'. The weather was perfect. The course was evil. Free Highland Ale at the finish line. All things were in their place.

We had a good long run on Sunday. Cody, Cami and I welcomed Matt and gave him the grand tour (West Ashley to downtown to Mt. Pleasant and back). Hope to see everyone out there again this Sunday.

September

Congrats to Ricky. His team got second place in the Century division of the Colorado Relay. Who needs altitude training?

We had a good crowd on Sunday. Ann, Swaz, Cody, Kristina, Michelle and myself had what could actually be described as cooler weather (all things being relative). Let's hope this trend continues.
