I didn’t have much of a workout yesterday thanks to the big storm that swept through Thunderbolt and Wilmington Island. At one point everyone in the Island’s Ymca had to leave the workout areas and huddle into the corridor in the center of the Y because of a tornado warning. Tornadoes can be such...
Well, The CrematorUltra 50 is over and there is no place for me to share in the bragging rights of having finished an incredibly tough race. Yeah, that’s right, – I got a big DNF. I didn’t finish the race. I called it quits around the 30 mile mark. The heat was the 800...
The night before Cremator and all through the house, I was scarfing down food and busy as a mouse… A poet, I am not but tonight, I’m tying up loose ends and preparing for the CrematorUltra 50. I’m leaving the house at 5:00am to drive to Hilton Head Island. At 6:00 am, the...

I had a very pleasant 7.24 mile run this evening after work. It was awesome. It was just me, the road, chirping birds and a ton of traffic on highway 80 and Victory. Several people honked their horns as they drove past me and I flipped them the bird. Life is good. I really...
I’m back in the saddle again. Today I ran for the first time in two weeks. The reason for the long hiatus from running was because I was in Tanzania climbing a mountain. The mountain I was climbing is called Kilimanjaro. That is, Kil-ee-man-jar-oh. And, that means…I don’t know what Kilimanjaro means but I’m...
Four more days and I’m off to Tanzania to embark on a childhood dream, climb Kilimanjaro! Very exciting stuff but also very time consuming in planning & getting things together. Thank God that Thomson Safari works out the all of the logistics. If they didn’t I would have lost my mind and quit on...
Five more days! Time is moving way too fast. I still have so much to take care of before leaving. One of the last things I want to get is a SCAD Banner to take to the top of Kilimanjaro and have a picture taken of me holding it. A lot of people can...
