We did this one for fun. No fancy bikes just an old mountain bike and a beach cruiser. I do believe I will be looking for a new bike for Tabitha.
We don’t get to see much change in elevation, but the headwinds would make you feel like you were in the mountains. It was cold this year and the winds were horrible. I still believe that any day on the bike is a good day.

I Hope We Are Back On Track For The New Year
Author: Jamie // Category: Cycling, Fitness, Homeschool, Running
It is Monday, the first day of the first week of a new year.
We are starting to get back into our routine with school, exercise and life in general. We ended the old year with friends and started the new year with family. Both were great celebrations and we have the pictures to prove it.
We are getting serious about fitness again. I have to climb on the scales at work on the 16th. I have registered Tabitha and I for a 5k in February as well as a 32 mile bike ride. We are looking at the Cooper River Bridge run and a 10k in Atlanta for later this year. I also plan to participate in the River City Ride which is a part of the Around the Fourth and another MS Ride.
This year I managed to log over 650 miles and around 60 hours on the bike. As the days grow shorter and the temp drops outside the chances to ride are few and far between. I hope to start 2009 with the Myrtle Beach Marathon Ride. Tabitha has agreed to ride this one with me if I will run the 5k with her on Friday. We have a few months to get a bike for her and get ready. It looks like rides will be limited to the weekends until then. We will continue to run and I may try to grab an indoor trainer later this year. I want to ride at least 1500 miles next year and run 300 miles. That seems like a reasonable goal (My boss would be proud).

My Best Run So Far (Maybe it is just a fast walk)
Author: Jamie // Category: Cycling, Fitness, Running
I still can’t keep up with Tabitha, but I feel better after running tonight. I managed to cover 2.6 miles in 42 minutes. Today has been a busy day. We started with a 9.1 mile bike ride and we both managed to run on the treadmill before bed. I’m looking foward to a good night sleep and I feel sure we will be up early with the little ones. Jessie is on stage with The Big House in the morning so we will have to be on the road early.
