Setting achievable goals and then achieving them is today’s theme in Charleston, South Carolina ! Can we go 7 for 7 ?

The Citadel !

Waking up 90 minutes north of Charleston on a Saturday morning, I made a list of seven things I thought I could accomplish in a healthy manner.

In no order :

  1. Support the military by attending The Citadel – Tennessee Tech football game ( 2pm – downtown )
  2. Watch the Charleston Battery professional soccer ⚽️ team host the Indianapolis Eleven ( 6pm – Daniel Island 🏝)
  3. Visit my favorite spot in the area and walk for 60 minutes on and near the beach ⛱️ on Sullivans Island 🏝.
  4. Visit the Charleston International Airport 🛫 for no other reason than I love Airports.
  5. Compile a minimum of 10,000 steps and not give it away by poor food choices.
  6. Check ✔️ on the only home 🏡 that my beautiful bride 👰‍♀supervised the building of, from start to finish !
  7. Make contact with Tenia Cattles, the Lady who somehow managed to keep us between the lines during a time when we desperately needed it !
The current owners are also kind to Vickey Ritchie !

We will circle 🔵 back and see 👀 if the discipline and focus necessary is in the cards????

It is okay to set difficult goals for yourself, and if / when you accomplish them, you will feel gratification !

Sullivans Island 🏝, SC

More 2 follow !!!

Tennessee Tech entered the day at 6-1 versus a 2-5 Bulldogs team, so it only being 14 – 10 at the break is a good place for the home team !

Solid 3rd quarter, only score came on a short field after a Bulldogs fumble. 21-10 as we start the fourth [4:18]

The Citadel added a field goal to make it a one score game at 21 – 13 !

Just inside of the final 2:00, the visitors punch in the KO score, now 28 – 13, and time to start thinking about the 5.1 .miles over to the soccer ⚽️ pitch.

28 – 13 is your final score, and the experience was a treat! The next stop ✋️ is Patriot Point 👉 5:06 pm[ 8,527 crowd]

Airport 🛫 is still around and continues to look terrific !
5 : 18 – cleared the 10K hurdle !!!
#7 of 7 !
Yorktown bonus in same parking lot !
I didn’t go quite as far into the ocean as the map shows but feet were wet !
Tenia and her late husband, John.

I was able to exchange some messages with Tenia a few times today, and she will always remain a HUGE part of our story !

6:07 – 1st touch of the soccer ⚽️ match !

Exciting 1st half, but it ends Nil – Nil…

Still scoreless in 62nd minute….

7 : 59 – Battery win, 1-0 !!!!!

Beautiful place here on US-17, just north of Georgetown, roughly halfway between Charleston and Myrtle Beach ⛱️

Friday Night Fun ?? The attempt will be to track four sporting events at once, 2 volleyball 🏐 and 2 football 🏈🏈🏈!

This could be fun, or it could be a mess, but either way, let’s give it a go !

Callie Harris is playing volleyball in Georgia. I am getting ready to enter the volleyball gym here at Coastal Carolina (6 pm). At 7 p.m., we have a pair of Cavalier football games with one on The Hill and the other taking place on The Grounds !

Duke (4-2) and Virginia (4-3) should be a good one while undefeated Carroll County vs. 1 Loss Radford should be great !

We shall see 👀 how things turn out !

This one looks to be evenly balanced.
Let the games begin !!!
