Bum Knee

I haven’t been able to run for several days due to a bum knee. I’m right now (as I type) icing it. I did get on the elliptical this evening for 40 minutes. It bothered me some but not enough to make me want to stop. I worked out pretty good (on the upper body). That was good. As I kicked it on the elliptical I watched “el espinazo del diablo”, That’s...

The Birds! My run today was kind of a joke. I did my typical 5.57 mile run at the rails but I stopped so many times—not because I was tired but because I kept getting distracted by millions of birds, the fresh scent of the ocean wafting through the trail, insects every where, a pretty lady and her two dogs, prayer flags that I stopped to read. You name it, I stopped for it. Still though,...

This video clip I took at the end of the rails to trails using the camera on my iphone. The quality isn’t good but you get to see a little of the rails to trails in Savannah and, the shrine & prayer flags that are at the end of the trail. There are 297 prayer flags out there as of 9/01/2009. This is a great place to run or bike at or, simply a very nice place to watch the sun set. ...
