Gail and High Visit for the Shrimp Festival!

As always, the first weekend in May brought the annual Shrimp Festival to Fernandina Beach. Thousands and thousands of people descend upon the island and this year it included Gail and Hugh! We had a wonderful weekend with them, including the annual running of the Shrimp Festival, lots of shrimp, beach time and plenty of fishing. Thanks for visiting guys, we had a great time!

Walt Disney World for Hillary's birthday!!

I can't even express how much fun I had at Disney World for my birthday! Mom and Dad and Josh and I went to Epcot and had a blast, the weekend went too fast! I even got a special birthday cake and a rose :) Man, I love Disney World! I took a ton of pictures so if you want to see some more, check out the link below...

A Man and his Dog... Need I say more?

Gate River Run 15K

Every year Jacksonville host the Gate River Run. This 15K is the largest of its distance in the country and draws quite a few elite runners. Both Josh and Brian did great, with Josh coming in the top 10% again this year. They couldn't have had a better day for the race. A little warm and humid, but great cloud cover and a breeze. It was a fast race this year. Thank goodness, this is the last race for a while. The next race is not until the Shrimp Festival, so there will be plenty of time to rest up.

Since a mean case of the common cold hit our house and we weren't able to go to Raleigh earlier this year for the Krispie Kreme Challange, Josh and Brian decided to do the Jacksonville Mud Run instead. It was a 10K race with many muddy and challenging boot camp style obstacles. They had a blast, to say the least. Although they may not look that muddy, anyone who knows how sandy and watery the mud is down here will know how truley dirty they really did get. See the link below for more pictures.

Pirates on the Run

We are in the midst of the northeast Florida road race season, Amelia Island included. This 10K was on the island in February and just Josh and I ran it, with Brian sitting it out since it was so close to his marathon. We didn't get any pictures of Josh since it was just he and I running, but he managed to snap a picture of me as I as coming into the finish. Please note the lucky Nicole Barnhart jersey...
