It's been a while since I have blogged. I apologize to the few who read this, but I have been fairly busy lately. I have kept up my marathon training by running 18 miles last week. I have been suffering from a cold, so I haven't run since my last long run. This was a recovery week, so hopefully I can jump back into it as soon as this cold passes.
My father came to visit last week and we made the trek to Louisville to attend the Ryder Cup. This is the olympics of golf. The United States picks is 12 best golfers to go up against Europe's best. For the past decade, Europe has dominated. With the USA's youngest a most inexperienced team playing this year, I thought it would be difficult to beat the Euros. I was pleasantly proved wrong with the two Kentucky boys (Kenny Perry & J.B. Holmes) stepping up. I am so grateful I was able to be a part of such history.
Dad and I went on the last practice day and the opening ceremony. I was a beautiful day and the golf was perfect. We got to see the Americans as well as the Euros. There was about an hour between golfing and the ceremony so my father decided to lay in the field and take a nap. Luckily he had me to protect him from all the European hulligans. To see the pagentry of the event made me proud to be a golf fan. Below are some pictures from Valhalla.
