Hill With a View

Image

Living near the ocean has it’s downsides, one being that the terrain is flat. Here is our one local hill, and yes, it’s a bridge.20120421-060503.jpg

Small though it is, it’s what we resort to for hill training…when we resort to that. Fortunately, the view at the top is worth it, especially at sunrise. Have a wonderful weekend of quilt-worthy activities!

No Hills

Well we didn’t run hills today…just a flat four in a light humid drizzle notorious in VB springtime.  Instead we’re ramping it up on the sewing machines, working on a several quilts that will be up for sale soon. One is a beach teen boy theme, another will be perfect for a young girl, and a third made from fleece pajamas that will keep anyone cuddly.  As we’re getting toward the end of the school year, if you’re looking for a perfect gift for your student to celebrate the end of another school year, we might have it. Pictures will be posted soon.

Meanwhile, you’ll have to settle for this one from our run Tuesday morning. As we were heading home on the boardwalk, we noticed some sort of photography shoot was going on at the otherwise quiet beach at sunrise. A young woman was wearing a pink fairytale type gown, so maybe senior photos? We enjoyed it, and hope they got the shot they wanted. Here’s hoping for a morning like that tomorrow when we run Croatan!

Sara, thanks for helping me finish up Tara’s quilt.  You are ”sew” much more than just my running friend; you are truly the “best business partner ever”!  I had so much fun piecing together her USNA and Navy t-shirts.  Despite the fact that she was class 0f ’03 and didn’t have a “real plebe year,” she was able to collect several great shirts.  Actually, it was like a stroll down memory lane or Stribling Walk.

Working together to tackle this quilt was a brilliant plan so we could have the quilt completed before she returns home this weekend.  She is going to love it.  I will drop it off at her house as a welcome home surpise!

Are you interested in hill work tomorrow?  We could run up and down Rudee Inlet Bridge several times. It might be a good idea if we’re going to do some of the shorter races coming up. Have a fantastic Wednesday and I’ll see you tomorrow at 5:30 for our run.
