Coming Soon - Walk Training: OBX Edition

That's right, Jenn and I are heading to South Carolina this weekend for the wedding of our friends Melissa and Shawn. And after the wedding, we'll be driving a couple hours north to the southern tip of North Carolina's Outer Banks. My mom and her husband Steve have rented a condo there for the week and were kind enough to invite us along for some much needed rest & relaxation.

Of course, what I'm really looking forward to is having the time to walk many miles, on the beach, every day! I'm imagining that we'll get up at around sunrise and walk six miles or so, then do the same thing again in the late afternoon. Of course, I expect we'll be going at a slower pace than usual to allow time for beach combing and body surfing, but getting plenty of exercise is definitely on the agenda. I'm really excited for this opportunity to recharge mentally and physically in preparation for our last three weeks leading up to the big event. In fact, when we get back to Ithaca on July 5, we'll only have two weekends left before TAFA! Yikes! It is definitely coming down to the wire.

Meanwhile, Zoe will be training solo here at home AND participating in the local chapter of the World Wide Vegan Bake Sale, the proceeds of which will also benefit Chuck. While I wouldn't miss the beach for anything, I am sad that we can't teleport ourselves back here for a few hours to participate in that deliciousness. Let me tell you, if our friends know anything, they know how to bake some outrageously fantastic cookies, cupcakes and other goodies.
