Sorry it's been so long since I have posted anything, it has been pretty crazy around here these past few weeks! With school and graduation all finished up though, it gives me a lot more time to focus on the store, finding a career, and working on the wedding. So in all honesty nothing got any less busy.
Amidst everything though I've managed to stay busy outside as well. Joel, B and I have done a combination of great trail runs and some mountain biking. I've been doing some product testing as well with my Vibram Five Fingers, and just so you know they do not stand up to the jaws of an angry pitbull/boxer. I say angry not because Kaiah, my pup, is mean or anything, but because she gets mad when I leave to do something without her. For instance, I went up to Blue Knob for a run and by the time I came back this had happened. Needless to say, I'm not too happy.
Last weekend was also the Bloody Run Canoe Classic out in Everett, Pa. It's a 5mile/9 mile canoe/kayak race along the historic Juniata River. You can take in some of the river's natural beauty and enjoy a good competition, then head on over to Bullshead Tavern for some good food afterwards. I took second, mainly because the gent in front of me was using a sea kayak. I had no hope, my bulky Pelican was no match for his fiberglass, 17 foot beauty! I actually wanted second anyway though, because the prize was a sweet cooler! Holds a twelve pack, or so they say! So next year the store, REI and Everett are trying to partner to get together an adventure race consisting of a 5 mile bike, five mile run and paddle back to the start. As always, there's those of us trying to get others moving on the idea so I'll keep you updated with any developments.
Now I must go, my fiancée has planned a day for us as a graduation gift. I have no idea what we're going to be doing so I'm pretty excited. Till next time, get out and do something!!
