[UPDATE 1/10/11 8:30 A.M. EST - There is a twitter account (possibly) established by Safari Par Excellence. Follow them at @SafParZambia Their name has been in the news, attached to the accident, but they book all kinds of African Tours, don't operate any of them. I think if they had a Facebook and Twitter account ahead of time, they could have minimized the press they are getting. A lesson to all companies out there - if you don't engage in social media, you'll regret it later when you need it.]

I discovered this Santa, made entirely out of condoms at the Birds & Bees Resort in Pattaya, Thailand. I was going to publish this on Christmas Day, but the fact that he’s made entirely out of multi-colored, unwrapped (but unused) condoms made me cringe. It just seemed wrong – even I have a line!
So now that Christmas has come and gone, enjoy this strangely-made Santa.

I’ll see you out there…!

I spotted this one at the Houston Airport during a layover, and I must say, after having Airport Tacos, the men’s room can certainly turn into a severe weather area! And the toilet bowl swirls just like indicated in the photo!
Ewww… too far on this one? Share your opinion by commenting.

Done.
That’s really all I could say at the end of the Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon last week. Running 13.1 miles takes a lot out of you. With just over a week to recouperate, I’m ready to share everything I discovered about running, marathons, myself and more.
A Mile-by-Mile Half Marathon Video
I decided to take a camera with me and film a mile-by-mile editorial of my race progress. You can view by clicking on the YouTube video link below, but be warned… it’s a horrible video. Really bad. It’ dark, shaky, long and features me topless. I’m sure only race fanatics and Disney fans would have the patience to watch the whole thing.

Tomorrow is the big day. Months of training since my initial announcement that I’ll be training for a half-marathon have come to a conclusion. Tomorrow I run the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon. And there’s nothing more to say.
Track my Race Progress in Real-Time
If you’re interested in following my progress during the race, you can sign-up here. As I pass certain milestones, you’ll receive texts, tweets or facebook comments (your choice in which how you receive them). Search my name “Ben Reed”. Note, the race begins in the evening.
Wish me luck.
Published August 15, 2011 at 7:00 am | Email This PostBy now, you should know that I’m training for my half-marathon. It’s not something that I’m taking lightly. In fact, I recently attended a ChiRunning Workshop by our sole intent (courtesy of lululemon). During my day-long session I discovered a better way to run. See what I mean below…
Before
Notice how my heal strikes the ground when I run. Not good!
 After
Notice now that my foot lands flat, instead of on the heel.
So What?
Whatever your goal may be (and for ideas, check out my adventure list), you shouldn’t go at it alone. Here are 3 reasons why…

Hey Adventurers,
I’ve been training for my half marathon for one month now and thought it was time for an update. Here’s a list of 9 thoughts that I have about running so far…
- I Think Running is a Mental Sport - I’m still not in love with running. I started this endeavor hating the sport. I’m warming up to it, but it can be monotonous, time-consuming and wears you out.
- So Choose Your Attitude - I use my running time to be productive. I enjoy the opportunity to clear my head and develop business plans, story ideas and household to do lists.While running isn’t “fun” per se, the act of getting away, even for a brief time, is refreshing.

Hey Adventurers,
I’m embarking on something I never thought I would – I’m running a half marathon. You should know I don’t run. But at the encouragement of a friend, I’m going to try it. Running a marathon is on my adventure list, so starting with a half is a good place to begin.
I’ll be participating in the Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon Saturday, October 1st, 2011. With only three months left to train, there’s much to be done. I’ll be documenting my progress along the way in this blog. And I’ll let you know now, you’re encouragement is highly needed. I can currently run 2 miles comfortably – 11 more to go!

I found this sign in South Africa in the same place where tampons weren’t allowed. Translated literally, this sign reads in Afrikaans, “Smoking Smokers Have Your Lungs Cooked”. We all know that literal translations never work. Our cultures use so many idiomatic expression that you just can’t translate like that.
Which is why, I think the sign reads, “Skeletons are not allowed to smoke”.
Has South Africa taken the no-smoking thing too far? Do you think skeletons should be allowed to smoke? Why or why not? Share by commenting.
I’ll see you out there…!

I was dining at the Steak ‘n Shake in Lake Buena Vista, FL last Friday and noticed this sign on the way out.
At first glance, I didn’t know what it was. It took me a moment. I can hear the discussion right now…
Officer: “Can you give me a description of the robber?”
Employee: “Well, I’m not so sure. It all happened so fast. He’s as tall as a Chocolate Milk Shake. Will that help?”
Officer: “With the straw bent or unbent?”
Employee: “Unbent”
Officer: “Excellent. Rest assured, we’ll catch ‘em”
