Tabitha has a bike ride under her belt.

Jamie — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 01:51:55 +0000

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

Jamie — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:18:05 +0000

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.

2008 Cycling Season is Almost Over

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)

Jamie — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 03:32:52 +0000

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.

2008 Bike MS – Cycling the Hills – No Problem

Jamie — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 02:15:38 +0000

I would like to start by saying that the hills hurt, but it wasn’t that bad. We peddled 83 mile in 7 hours and 22 minutes. That time included rest stops and two flat tires. We were blessed with cool weather and very little rain which made for an enjoyable ride.

Bicycles in the Rain

I will be heading to Greenville for the 2008 Bike MS Event. If anyone would like to make a donation there is still time. It looks like we will be doing 80 miles in the rain on Saturday to raise money and awareness for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. (We are talking bicycles).

Have a great weekend.

2008 Bike MS Route – Cycling in the Hills

Jamie — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 23:48:26 +0000

This is the Saturday Route for the 2008 Bike MS Ride in our area. I hope to make it another 40 or 67 miles on Sunday. We’ll have to see how I feel after 80 miles on Saturday.

No Cycling this week. We are on Vacation.

Jamie — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 13:03:17 +0000

I’ll try to post a few pics this week while we are on the road. I guess I will have to settle for the exercise bike at the hotel. Two weeks until the MS Ride. Not a good time to miss a week of riding.

Cycling in the Dark

Jamie — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 00:52:51 +0000

I finally put the lights on my bike. I’ve had them for 3 months. It was really nice to head out as the sun was going down. I have a few adjustments to make, but they seemed to work well. The kids stayed at home this time and I did my 8 mile route to the marina and back in less tha 35 minutes. It looks like this will be the last ride for a few days. I expect Hanna to bring rain this weekend and little more. The tread mill have to do. I can’t skip many days with the MS Ride in 3 weeks.
