7. Laura Griffin Memorial Run, 2007
This race is a memorial for Laura Griffin, who used to work at the College of Charleston a few years back. She was the Director of the Office of Substance Abuse Prevention until she was killed in a hit-and-run on the Battery in January of 1996. Laura was apparently a big proponent of healthy living, So the folks at the college decided to honor her memory with a 5K race. -
6. Resolution Run, 2007
Happy New Year, everyone. I've done enough of these races to become part of the local running community. Information just sort of floats to me now about where and when the races are. It's pretty cool. As with the other races, there are many different kinds of people involved, and people have individual goals for their times and performance. -
5. Reindeer Run, 2006
Yet another 5K race in Charleston, just two weeks after the Turkey Day run! I found out about it on Thanksgiving morning on my walk from the parking garage to registration. Someone had posted a few signs with the dates and information. -
4. Turkey Day Run, 2006
Happy American Thanksgiving Everyone! (It's a late wish, but it's better than nothing.) While most of you were sleeping soundly on Thanksgiving morning, I was awake and dressed for a race. Since I overtaxed my ankle during the Race for the Cure I've been gradually training it up, and at this point I'm finally ready for anything. -
3. Race for the Cure, 2006
This year I participated in the Charleston, South Carolina Race for the Cure. It's a 5K (3.1 mile) benefit race which promotes breast cancer research. It's the first race I've participated in besides the Cooper River Bridge Run, so I was pretty excited. The only snag is that I haven't fully regained the level of fitness which I had before the accident. -
2. Cooper River Bridge Run, 2006
Another year has gone by, and I've participated in my second Cooper River Bridge Run. This year was much nicer for me than last year, and the weather was rather cooperative as well. -
1. Cooper River Bridge Run, 2005
I was looking over the list of my articles, and I noticed that I was exactly one race short of a complete race history. I was missing my first official race: The 2005 Cooper River Bridge Run. So here I am, writing this article in October of 2007. Better late than never, I suppose.
