Welcome (back) to the Jog Blog!

For those of you unfamiliar with the original "Jog Blog," it began as part of my graduate capstone course down in Charleston, SC. Though we were there to cover the events of the Spoleto USA Festival, we were encouraged to branch out and explore the city of Charleston and the stories there.
Though I hated running most of my life, I came around to it when I studied in Florence, Italy and suddenly didn't have much of a choice when it came to exercise. Why would I join a small, expensive Italian gym, when I could run around and explore the streets of Florence?
I ditched the gym. Good choice.
Ever since, I've been a pretty dedicated runner, going out nearly every day for several years. Charleston has become my favorite city to run around, however, others are sure to catch up as I make my way around the world.
This blog will capture my runs through different places and seasons, different routes and weather and perhaps as winter hits, it will become "The Things I Ski (or Snowboard) Into"...we'll see.
If you didn't follow the original Jog Blog, I encourage you to catch up! Charleston has a lot to offer and I'd like to think I caught a good part of it. Check out the original here. 


Wake up! Let's run :)
