Snow Day In Spartanburg

Going for a walk in the snow t0 get some exercise and enjoy the event. Spartanburg is having it's worst storm in ten years. " A good day to play drums and work inside."

Treadmill and Jump Rope

Cold weather blues can be cured with a treadmill and jump rope. I love running outside but sometimes the cold gets old. A thirty to forty minute cardiovascular workout mixing these exercises will get the job done!

Hair Of The Dog Run New Years Day 2011

It's always tough getting up and going for a run on New Years Day. When I see all of the runners waiting to begin, and everyone is wishing you a great year my attitude changes.

The weather was perfect for running 47 and cloudy. I finished the ten miles in 1:36
What a great way to start the new year!

Physical Fitness Helps Mental Fitness

The last quarter of the year has been a true test. The death of several loved ones, and the process of renovating a house has been stressful. It makes me appreciate being able to workout more than ever. The mental advantage of being in shape is a key component of a physical lifestyle.

Wasn't Pretty But I Finished

Everything was going great until mile twenty. The sun was beaming on my bald head and nausea became my enemy. Finish time was 5:16:16 and I placed 26,271st out of 36,159 finishers. Over 45,000 people started the marathon and nearly 10,000 dropped out.

It wasn't pretty but I finished!
