Fanciness, gardens, and you're a guey

 Day 4 was "supposed" to take place mainly outside. The forecast called for rain most of the day and, well, it looked like we would be running ourselves ragged to make the self-imposed time hacks. So, we made a little adjustment. We still decided to go to a couple different gardens. However, we needed breakfast first (let's be honest, it was second breakfast for this hobbit). We went to Confiteria La Ideal for a fantastic breakfast. I had thought it was a smaller place to grab a coffee and snack and then be on our way. However, we walked in and realized it's not that type of spot. The cafe originally opened in 1912 and was long considered the best example of porteno (coming from Buenos Aires) gastronomy for the best part of the 20th century. They closed their doors in 2016 but reopened in 2022 after a massive restoration project.  We also saw that we were way underdressed. Luckily, we could play the ignorant tourist card and, if need be, I could always speak horrendou...

Shannon Trail Series Finale 2018

We're getting ready for the third race of the Shannon Trail Series on February 17th!  I didn't write race report blogs but I wanted to do a little of that mixed with a preview of what to watch/run for in the next race.  Mike is bringing Dennis and I in to teach us how to race direct in hopes that one (or both) of us will take over some races in the future.  And, I think, so he can rest a bit.  After doing just a portion of the work, I can totally see why.  Since I was running around before and after the races trying to learn and make sure things were going well, I didn't get any pictures.  I've got some pics that others took that I'll throw in here. Race one took place at Middle Concho Park.  It was freezing that morning, with temperatures in the mid 20s at the start.  I was almost ready for that.  I forgot to wear warm socks so my toes were frozen but everything else was good.  The race had a bigger turnout than I expected with the co...

Swag bag

 It's been a busy few weeks since I wrote my last post  about the state parks we've been visiting.  Well, we did it again.  I wanted to roll up our trip to Jordan Lake with an update on the Csapo Family 5k and a shortened write up from our in-person 5k.  So, let's get to it. We hit up state park #5, Jordan Lake, a few weeks ago.  Just a bit outside of Raleigh, the man-made Jordan Lake is the 7th largest lake in the state.  Upon its several inlets, the state park includes several campgrounds, boat launches, and recreation areas.  We wanted a 2-3 mile trail so we went with the red trail at Vista Point.  Many of the other trails were either different distances or accessible only to campers.  The red trail has an inauspicious beginning as it's located kind of near a rentable pavilion.  It took us a minute to find it as there wasn't much of a trailhead sign.  Furthermore, it is a path through the woods, not quite the obviously delin...
