Well you can take the girl out of the Carolinas but that doesnt mean she might not get a red neck...
Day started off with another 2mile McGalls Hill run. Today I took my phone and took some pics. I will post them when I get home. My pace was about the same. Traffic at the bottom of Collectors Hill did interfer with the pace some. But I did do better before the hill. And kept up with the run on the way back down St. Marks. Will be able to decipher more when I get downloaded to Garmin.
From there went to Miles and met a friend for coffee. It was nice to catch up after so many years. She's been running on her visit longer distances than I imagine doing.

Left town (with a pleasant surprise - wonder what the HRM would have read at that moment?) and got a bike at Oleanders on Valley Road. That was the first time I havent had them deliver a bike directly to me in AGES!!! It was nice to go to the store location. It is near where I used to live and brings back some memories.

From there rode all the way out to St Georges to meet another friend for lunch - hence the red neck. It was a pleasant visit. Fish chowder. Fish sandwich. Bermuda Perfumery. The Island Shop. AS Cooper. Glass Blowing Company. Taste fo chocolate rum cake. A pleasant afternoon.
Late in the afternoon Lesley and I took a ride. Somehow in the mix I finally got to see Clearwater Beach and the triathlon route that goes through there. There were 2 people practicing open water swimming out there in the ocean. I so wish I had my suit, cap and goggles with me at that time. Oh well.
There is a bike shop on the island as well that rents pedal bikes (thanks for the link:) However the daily bike rental may be as much if not more than the bike I call my own. Plus no rack to get it to flat land. And I dont want to ride with the hills and traffic around here. But something to consider in the future.
And now trying to pace myself to get a good night's sleep and not get sucked into this Dragon Tatoo book I am reading.
Tomorrow some Spittal Pond. Maybe the caves (in my 19 years of visiting I have never been). Perhaps a yoga class at the beach (wont Stacey be jealous). And dinner with friends. I KNOW the week is going to fly by.
