IT'S NOT EASY BEING A SOUTHERN BELLE-EVEN AFTER YEARS OF PRACTICE!

We are in Erie

Well we arrived in Erie-after dashing through 2 airports with very little time. Why is it that whenever you change planes-the stinking gates are at different ends of the airport? We found Adam & Camille well and Erie HOT! They claim that we brought the hot weather with us-but I think the claims of cool northern temperatures are exaggerated. They say the snow will start coming by the end of the month-IT WILL HAVE TO DROP AROUND 60 DEGREES! We are enjoying our time with the Jennings and I will give you detail after going back to God's Land-Louisiana. We visited a local winery today about 30 minutes east of Erie. Acres upon acres of vinyards. Really beautiful and so surprising in this part of the country. We stopped at a Farmer's Market to buy some pumpkins and also found locally grown apples and a basket of the famous grapes. We are enjoying our stay and BC loves the house. Pictures & more details to come later.

Camille & I went to run our long run this morning and she is still having problems with her achilles. I did run the cut-back of 10 miles, but could I tell you how difficult it is to run on only flat ground? I did run 11 minute miles for each and every mile, but was beginning to tire by the end. Camille is having difficulty, but we have talked about what she can do and hopefully she will be able to finish the training and run her marathon.
