Atlantic City, Here I Come !!!

Sort of......

I just registered for the Atlantic City Half Marathon 2011 in October, 2011...... i was hoping that it was ALL on the boardwalk, but maybe it's a good thing it goes to the Inlet. Wonder what's there, now that Garwood Mills has been gone for about 35 - 40 years ??????
It would be cool if we went past the Absecon light house. It's been moved inland. Here's a picture from when it was on the beach.

Broad Street Run 2011 - Again

This is how I ran, according to my Nike+. Every Nike+ mile is really 1.1 'real world' miles..........
I'm thrilled that I finished.... it hasn't really sunk in yet.
And, i'm looking for the next challenge. The Philadelphia Half Marathon is a logical choice, but there's also stair running.....

Broad Street Run - 2011 - D - O - N - E !!

Finished 24, 259 our of 33, 000+

Broad Street Run - 2011 --- in 3 days

Still planning to run the Broad Street Run on Sunday (today is Thursday); unless it's tremendously HOT or pouring. I'm not even sure rain would be a deterrent. It's the one day in the year when anyone can run down Broad Street, through North Philadelphia to the Navy Yard....10 miles mostly flat.
The farthest I've run: 8.5 miles. Someone told me that the last 4 miles (after City Hall) is downhill (very very very slight slope). I estimate that it will take about an hour just for my corral (pink) to get to the START line... there are 10 groups this year.

How far is 880 miles ?

According to my Nike+, i've run 880 miles. Since the Nike+ stops working when it's around 25 degrees (F) outside, and also seems to stop at other weird times, and the batter has died, i've actually run farther than 880 miles.
This is what 880 miles from home looks like - I'm in Bermuda !!! I'm above Labrador ! I'm in Florida !! How cool !

Decisions..... Decisions......

Turkey Vultures - Identified

Turkey Vultures get up later than other birds. Started watching at 6am, but they didn't start moving until slightly after 7am.
These are DEFINITELY turkey vultures - red heads. They are so big that you can hear their wings flap when they take off from the ground.

Vulture Culture

Seen at 7am today in the back yard. They appear to be young black vultures.
