From the iPhone

I just got it and I am having too much fun with the nifty little device. It also has come in handy for work. Really. I think it needs a name though... Here are a few random photos.

People respond to incentives

The boots are en route. I met my goal. It was close. 40 seconds. Still slow but faster than the first.

And, Happy 50th Dad!!

Incentives.

OhIamtotallyfreakingoutrightnow!

Tomorrow I have to run 26.2 miles. I hope the downpour passes. I hope I didn't forget anything. I hope I finish in my goal time.

If I do, I get these:

That's right, I will be trading in my running shoes for much cuter rain boots. I have been swooning over them all season, and I feel like I need an award for the training. I better be careful with the rewards though, it might posess me to run another.

Wish me luck.

SunTrust Richmond Marathon

Sweet child

Today at the corner market I saw a woman with dreadlocks. Then I looked down and saw her daughter, about 9 or 10, sporting her own set of waist long dreads. I am almost positive this is the youngest person I have seen with this hairdo.

Labor Free Weekend

Oh the joys of a three day weekend.


Saturday:

Beach day with delightfully perfect weather. A few friends and I spent the day working on our tans at Virginia Beach. I hadn't been there and I would highly recommend it. The day was wonderful and we didn't hit a stitch of traffic on the way there or back. I have a certain affinity for laying on the beach, listening to tunes, and munching on Wheat thins, all while catching up on the latest celeb gossip (though I was a little sad my current read The Sun Also Rises didn't make it into the car).


Sunday:


I met up with a friend from church and caught up. She made me lunch and we chatted all afternoon. It was a lovely day outside so we spent the afternoon on her glider on her porch. I then went to a friends house and played pool, which I am sure is a great Sunday activity, especially if you win two of three games, which I did.


Monday:


I headed to Harper's Ferry with another group of friends. Oh, I adore rural Virginia. It was so pleasant to get outside DC and explore. We spent the morning floating in the Potomac river on tubes, which was much fun, though a little overcast and cool, and in the afternoon we walked around Harper's Ferry and explored Waterford. Waterford is an old Quaker town consisting only of houses and one corner market. The homes are old and well preserved. Many of them were built before 1840.
