The Virginia 10-Miler
Lynchburg, Virginia, Sept 30th, with Karen H & Lisa A before the race, and me afterwards trying to keep up the Waffle House breakfast tradition. At a 10:12.4 pace, this was my 26th and slowest Virginia Ten-Miler, but it still got me 3rd place in my age-group.
Corolla, North Carolina
We had a few more days at the beach in early September with Jan, Marty, and Linda McD. No people pictures this time. You can hover on the edge of a photo to a show description and pause the slideshow — then un-hover to resume the slideshow. See Wikipedia articles on Roanoke Island, its Elizabethan Gardens, or the Whalehead Club at Corolla.
Chincoteague, Virginia
We had a few days at the beach in early August. We all rode bikes, we walked, some of us went running at sunrise, we sat on the beach, played in the sand, ate and drank. Wore plenty of sunblock and needed lots of insect repellant for the wildlife refuge. No sunburn or shipwrecks and nobody drowned. We also saw a big NASA rocket launched (see separate page). Various photographers. You can hover on the edge of a photo to a show description and pause the slideshow — then un-hover to resume the slideshow.
Sunday night Zoom
Gareth’s virtual background shows a result of his milkweed cultivation, and the first time he’s got it to bloom. Mine is an enlarged view of the new table described separately.
Three-Legged Table
Here’s our new three-legged table, created by our next-door neighbor Jack Murray and presented to us as a gift. I had been saving that hunk of oak in the garage for 15 or 20 years, intending to try some woodwork myself. Deciding I was never going to get around to it, rather than put it on the firewood pile I asked Jack if he’d like it for his own woodworking hobby. Thank you, Jack!
The Tunnel
My Saturday morning run has this optional diversion through the University of Mary Washington.
