Expert 1007 Hattiesburg, Mississippi | Subject: RE: Fighting Okra - September End of Summer Challenge Had a fun time with some friends at a museum reception for a show where I have some work on exhibition. Luckily someone else drove so I could have two glasses of some nice red wine and all the finger food you can put on a tiny plate! Got in a two hour nap yesterday which helped me stay awake for the museum event! |

So tell us more about the microbrewery Stacie. No impact for your ride home or for your typing? no, no impact whatsoever...i was the DESIGNATED RIDER. LOL. actually, im not a beer drinker, believe it or not. BUT....the microbrewery is totally fab and their home brews according to my fellow riders were AWESOME. you can try any of their brews in these small glasses (a double shot glass) for a BUCK each. the food is really good too and the ambience is way cool....the owner is an artist, and he has all these really whimsical wood carving throughout the entire place...the have a huge wooden deck out front so you sit outside. super mid-ride lay over. stacieb Edited by skrtrnr 2009-09-13 10:12 AM |

JEN. aren't the changes wonderful, regardless of when they come? i love the fall, in particular. the colors. the cool, crisp air. ahhhh. and im so glad that i was able to get my ride in yesturday. im down w a NASTY virus today. my entire family has it. i thought i dodged a bullet....but alas, i got hit... i woke up in the middle of the night last night, congestion, headache, sore throat, fever. UGH. im feeling better as the day is going on, but still... im super bummed cuz i was gonna go and watch the Masters swim today - its the first meet of the season. oh phoooey. just think its best if i rest. i dumped a 4 miler that was 'on tap' for today....and thankfully my long run isnt scheduled until WED....thats the most important one to get in. so we'll see how the next few days go...rest today, tomorrow perhaps. a tapered workout, and then maybe, just maybe, w a little bit of luck, ill be back at it no later than Wed.... resting/recovering well. stacieb |
