Finally managed to run the Cooper Bridge 10K with Shalene (well..."with" might be inferring that I actually was running side by side...which I wasn't...actually I started nearly an hour after her and Jim...Jim, who did actually run "with" Shalene)
I had never been to Charleston, SC...and I gotta say it was a ton of fun! The bridge itself encompasses about 2 full miles of the 10K...and going up the bridge is no treat...but it's definitely a well organized race...and one of the top 3 10K's in the USA!
We ate some great food in Charleston courtesy of research and the experience of Shalene and Dave. The first night we ate at Edmund's Oast...where I had Peanut Butter and Jelly Beer, Pickled Shrimp, and some of the best chicken I've ever eaten...good thing I was running 6 miles in the next day or so...
We also ate at the Hominy Grill the night immediately prior to the race, and SNOB or "Slightly North of Broad" the night of the race. Highlights included Shrimp and Ochre Benet's and She Crab Soup! The food could not have been any better!!
This is definitely a race you need to do if you haven't been down there!
Basketball Season and it's now time to get moving again! Looking forward to a fun race season!
