And Where is Baxley???

I was born in NC but raised in the Deep South - Baxley, GA to be exact. It's ok if you've never heard of the place. You and 99.9% of the rest of the world. It's a pretty boring place but I did learn a lot of things that I wouldn't have learned living in the suburbs or the city - roosters don't just crow in the mornings, ghosts are real, news really does travel faster in small towns, neither movie theaters nor cable tv are necessities in life, fried chicken tastes better when fried in lard.

Running Update

November was a good month for running. On 11/10, I ran an 8k which included a couple of small hills. Then, on Thanksgiving morning, I ran a 10k which included some large hills. I was very proud of myself given how far I've come from when I first started running. I can now run my miles in 9:20-9:30 minutes. I used to take at least 10 minutes per mile. I'm continuing to shorten that time. I hope to eventually run a mile in less than 9 minutes. Now, for some people, that's really slow but I'm happy with my progress. Also, somehow, there were a lot of pictures of me. There's usually one picture of me and it looks like I'm walking instead of running. I'm happy to report that I look like I'm running!
