Hickory Hills
This morning O and I went for a run in Hickory before we head back home to Pittsburgh. Hickory is a nice little town in the eastern part of North Carolina and as we learned today, is pretty hilly too! O was scheduled to do a 13 mile run so I ran the first 60 minutes with him and then sent him on his way for another 45 minutes or so.
I felt pretty good running although an hour is (sadly!) quite a long way for me now! :) It was a nice morning, much cooler than the past week in South Carolina and so that felt really good. Right now I'm icing my feet and waiting for O to return from the 2nd part of his run so we can hit up the continental breakfast. It doesn't take much to get O and I excited and let me tell you - a continental breakfast in a hotel/motel can do it!
The game last night was fun although it was delayed close to two hours because of rain and thunderstorms. We didn't stay for the whole game but did see a few innings and got ourselves some Crawdad t-shirts. Most importantly we saw Conrad the Crawdad which was quite a sight in itself. I like it here in Hickory. Very friendly people who all have a southern accent. Can't beat that!
