    On Vacation

    I know it's been forever since I've posted to my blog. I've actually intended to post quite a few times and then it doesn't quite happen. Summer is in full swing here in Florida and the early morning workouts are now the norm. Early wake-ups mean earlier bed times, which means less evening computer time. Since the evening is when I usually do my writing, the blog posts have suffered. I'm trying to get back in the groove, though, and my plan for this week is to finish up several posts. I've got three race reports among other things. Summer camp has started, too.

    This week, Brian and I are on Topsail Island, NC with my brother, Chris and his family. It was a bit of a last minute trip, but it came together nicely. I love the North Carolina coast. It's very natural and not overly developed. I'm looking forward to a week of good cycling, some running, and lots of playing in the ocean. I brought my wetsuit and may plan an openwater swim, also. Lots of my favorite activities and quality time with the family - perfect. I've included a few pictures I've taken with my phone. I keep forgetting to get the real camera out.

    Topsail Island is part of the southern North Carolina beaches so it's a lot closer to the mainland than the Outer Banks. It's about an hour north of Wilmington and just a bit south of Camp Legeune. We are at the north end of the island about a mile from where it ends. I ran up to the end and you can see across the inlet to Camp Legeune. Of course, you can't really see any of the base, but the view is nice.

    You know how to get here - there's plenty of room.
