This week j and j experienced a Charleston tradition. Saturday was the 32nd anual Cooper River Bridge Run. At 6 AM, Julie and I boarded a bus with all 6 other interns, bound for the famous 10k. After a great deal of shivering and teeth chattering, we finally gathered at the starting line with 40,000 of our closest friends, and off we went! It was my first race, and very exhilerating. Nothing motivates you to keep moving quite like a herd of runners huffing and puffing on your heals!
We were all quite pleased with our times, despite a lack of training. Moral to the story: Our bodies really are capable of so much more than we give them credit for! Somtimes it just takes a little peer pressure to keep moving. Perhaps we are marathon bound? At the least, we hope for an annual reunion on the bridge!
Congratulations on the race!
