Things here at the Snail's Place are winding down for the year. We have crossed the threshold of Winter; we are daily gaining minutes of sunlight here in the South. I can't help but reflect back upon the year and be grateful for all that has transpired.
I have been fortunate to maintain gainful employment, I have even managed a transfer from the sleepy resort located in Savannah, to the hustle & bustle of Atlanta. In this new city I have connected with a wonderful running club(GUTS)and have started forming relationships with some very cool trailrunners.
With these awesome trailruuners, I have been exposed to some fantastic locations and events. The Pinhoti 100 Mile Run being one that really sticks out in my mind. I plan to return to Helfin, AL to toe the line at this race in the future.
Looking forward to 2011, I am currently in the base building stage of training, working towards 2 50k's(Sweetwater & Chattooga) and the Savannah Rock & Roll Marathon in November. I might even throw in the Wood Ferry 24 Hour run for fun....who knows. I think the race that I am most looking forward to is the RC Cola & Moon Pie 10 miler in June. This race will take place the weekend my sister is getting married and I will get to run it with my brother. The only thing that may make me happier than seeing my sister get married, will be the chance to log some miles with my brother.
2011 will bring a year of continued fitness for myself & my Sweetest Boo...On the trails and in life in general. To have my family back together again is the greatest gift given to me in 2010.
Thank you to all who have been on the journey with me, you all inspire me in so many different ways. I look forward to continuing to "trudge the road of happy destiny" with you all!

Looks like 2010 was Teh Year of Teh Snail, though. Might have trouble trying to top it ...
Yeah, people were reading that last post of mine while I was still assiduously editing it. One of these daze I'm gonna learn to edit before posting.
Hahahaha! No I won't!
That is the happiest race poster I've ever seen! But seriously, Thomas, you've had a great year physically, mentally and spiritually- and only gobs and gobs of greatness is ahead of you. I'm honored to call you friend, and look forward to many fine adventures in 2011 (some of which we can even write about:)))
I look forward to seeing you out on the trails in 2011. I will be at Chattooga and Woods Ferry!
Looks like you have some fun races planned for the next year. I need to come out and race in that part of the country sometime. I love the Atlanta area.
AWESOME, a good year to look back on and an even better year to look forward too.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
