Tomorrow I’ll be jetting off to a two week whirl-wind trip
back to the motherland (AKA Washington). It will be action-packed to say
the least, starting with the Ragnar NWP! This will be my first Ragnar adventure,
so I’m feeling a healthy mixture of nerves and excitement. Luckily, I will be running through the night with a fabulous
group of Oiselle ladies. Check out the Oiselle blog about the team here.
It's actually kind of tough to leave NC in the summer, because I LOVE SUMMER. Seattle 'summer' leaves me feeling pretty 'meh'. Don't get me wrong, I love a view of the Cascades, Olympics, and Mt. Rainier in one stunning vista just as much as anyone (maybe more), but I really crave heat. And boy do I get a lot of that in the South! One of my favorite things to do in the summer here is cruise around in the evening on my bike, or stroll around downtown. Here are some photos of said summer-strolling:
