Ending out the year with a 10 mile run

2011 has been an amazing year for me.  It started off  with me setting a pr on the Tybee Island half marathon back in February.  My finish time was 1:34:49.  Then in March my childhood dream of climbing Kilimanjaro was fulfilled.  On March 15th I stood on the roof of Africa.  That was quite...

A Night Time Run in Whitemarsh Island

I ran 6 miles this evening in Whitemarsh Island with one of my running buddies, Nelson.  If I had not given my word to show up at 6pm at the Island’s Y to run I would not have gone running.  I left work kind of late.  I had to walk Mr. Gypsy right after...

A Run in the Dark

I went to the Y yesterday evening to lift weights and run on the treadmill.  After about 30 minutes of working out my abs, back and chest I tried to locate a free treadmill.  Only one was open because it was broken.  There’s always one broken treadmill at the y.  It’s like a national...
