beyond exhausted.

This weekend was the longest weekend ever, as will be the case with pretty much all weekends from now until August. I ran 14 yesterday (well, ran 12 and walked 2 thanks to minor dehydration issues) and rode 60 miles and ran 2 miles today. WHEW! I'm worn down, but at least I will sleep like a baby. And even better, I have tomorrow OFF.

It was a gorgeous weekend, but it's definitely starting to warm up. Johanna and I rode the Trace out 30 and back 30 today. It is so beautiful out there right now. The Trace, for those of you who don't know, refers to the Natchez Trace Parkway which runs from Nashville all the way to Tupelo, MS. It's a popular place for both motorcyclists and cyclists because there is very little traffic and some of the most amazing scenery in the entire world (in my humble opinion). Here are a few photos from today's adventure!

We stopped at Puckett's in Lieper's Fork about 13 miles in and ran into a bunch of our buddies who started much earlier. Wayner was munching on "Fried Gu," a.k.a. a deep fried apple pie. Not sure how well that would have gone down, but Wayne is an anomaly.



This is my absolute favorite view. I want to live in that house!



I knew we were really effing far out when I saw this sign. I wouldn't DRIVE to Columbia. Ever.
