A Short Run in the neighborhood and Gear Review: Nathan Yellow Reflective Vest

Once again I’m nursing an injury…I mean two injuries.  My left calf is very tender and tight.  My right hip at the joint has been hurting for the past week.  Whenever my right leg rises up and my left foot is pushing off the ground the front of my right hip aches deeply.  It’s...

Running with Music

Tonight’s run was a light-paced 4.22 miles in Whitemarsh Island.  I ran with my trusty yellow reflective Nathan vest and red bikilas.  I started the run with my running buddy, Nelson, but soon I pulled ahead and the rest of the run felt like I was running by myself.  Nelson and I did talk...

Running with a sick friend and eating billions of gnats

Yesterday I did not run because I was just lazy.  Tonight I made up for yesterday’s slackness and ran 6.35 miles at the rails to trails.  I met up with a friend of mine, Nelson, at 5:30 and we headed west on the trail toward the shrine and the prayer flags.  Nelson started off...

Running and Putting things back into perspective

I had an interesting run this evening on Whitemarsh Island.  I know that I said that I would run the rails to trails today but things change.  I just wasn’t in the mood to run the rtt today.  So, I went to the Island’s Ymca and stretched for about 15 minutes and even contemplated...

Ran two Famous Savannah Cemeteries

Yesterday’s run was 6.93 miles through Greenwich and Bonaventure cemeteries.  I love running these cemeteries.  They are so beautiful and peaceful.  For about the first 20 minutes I did feel a bit of a chill even, though, it was not really cold outside.  The temperature at the end of the run was 57 degrees...

A Run to Chase Away the Blues in my Red Bikilas

This was a rough day for me but I managed to walk 2.4 miles with my dog and afterward, ran 3.34 miles.  That walk and run, despite the chilly conditions, made me feel so much better. An evening run helps me release the stress of the day and reminds me that there is more...

Another Treadmill Run

Yesterday was my unintentional rest day from running.  I say, unintentional, because I had every desire to run yesterday but an emergency popped up at work and kept me there until 8:15pm.  When I left work I had to stop at Target and buy cat food for my two pesky cats.  By the time...

Treadmill Running and Bigfoot in Richmond Hill

I walked a little over a mile today with Mr. Gypsy and then went to the Island’s Y and lifted weights.  Afterward, I ran 3.04 tough miles on the treadmill.  I say “tough” 3 mile run on the treadmill because my body was very stiff and my left ankle began to ache again and,...

I ran 4.7 miles this evening partly at the rails to trails and on highway 80 and a run to the end of the zombie trail and back.  Again, as I ran the zombie trail I was disturbed by the number of deer carcasses there.  I mean, what’s going on?  Is the zombie trail...
