Running On

Where I start: Out of Savannah, GA, past Pooler Georgia, on State Road 80, somewhere in Eden, GA - or West Pooler, GA. Maybe.
Where I end up: Hell, I don't know. I think I'm on the way to Brooklet, Georgia. I'm on a place called Ivanhoe Junction Road along State Road 80 in Georgia.
Total distance on map: 21.01 miles
Spare miles for next run: -0.05 miles

One of the problem I've had is that the Daft Logic Distance Calculator at this link has forgotten my ending point. So I've had to reconstruct part of my route from scratch - the starting location is very non-specific; imagine trying to find it on a Georgia map.

In any case - we're a far way from civilization now. Still running, but tonight in Atlanta it is very cold. Can't imagine how much colder it would be in Rural Georgia.

Running Through Eden

Where I start: Intersection of State Road 80 (East Victory Drive) and Harry S. Truman Parkway, Savannah, GA
Where I end up:Out of Savannah, GA, past Pooler Georgia, on State Road 80, somewhere in Eden, GA - or West Pooler, GA. Maybe.
Total distance on map: 24.5 miles
Spare miles for next run: +0.14 miles

It's been busy at work and women's basketball season has started again, so little time to write. I figure that I ran two times during my visit to Hialeah, four times on the cruise and once back home in Atlanta. (I forgot my workout clothes today). So I added up the distance and updated the map.

That took me out of Savannah, Georgia and somewhere near Eden, Georgia. I can tell you absolutely nothing about Eden, Georgia. Some people claim that it doesn't exist, and if it were found, it would be guarded by an angel with a flaming sword.

No Post

More running today. Might think of something profound later.

Where I start: Off the Fort Pulaski National Monument, somewhere off State Road 80, Savannah Georgia.
Where I end up: Still wandering on Route 80, but hopefully, I'll end up turning into Savannah soon.
Total distance on map: 5.836 km
Spare kilometers for next run: -0.13 kilometers

Marching Through Georgia

On the treadmill, I ran/walked for 3.37 miles. This is 5.42348 kilometers.

This means that when people brag about completing a 5K, I complete one of those...three times a week. Wow. Didn't see that coming, not by a long shot. I know a guy who walks over an hour to work; he can probably cover 3.37 miles four or five times a week - going to work, and then coming back.

Let's see how far I can "run", then. At this rate, I should be able to run across the entire United States in about 1000 days or so. Let's start on the shores of Savannah, Georgia and end up somewhere in Westport, Washington.

Where I start: The Tybee Island Lighthouse, Savannah, Georgia.
Where I end up: Off the Fort Pulaski National Monument, somewhere off State Road 80, Savannah Georgia.
Total distance on map: 5.023 kilometers
Spare kilometers for next run: 0.4 kilometers

Across the road as I end, to my left is a bending river and to my right is the Fort Pulaski National Momument. Fort Pulaski guards the entrance to the Savannah River, which I suspect is on my left. This could have been an important port for the Confederacy, but since they didn't think Union troops would land on Tybee Island, they abandoned the island.

Guess what? Union troops landed, bombarded the fort and took control. That was the end of Confederate shipping through Savannah.

And that's one to grow on.
