"A beautiful out and back course from the Brackley Beach parking lot towards Robinson's Island."

It was cloudy and 4 degrees and no wind.

The calm before the storm. Hurricane Noel is coming to Atlantic Canada tonight.

The out and back course on Gulf Shore Parkway.

Lots of dogs and lots of vet college students.
