37. Laura Griffin Memorial Run, 2009
Another January rolls around without seeming to leave any space between it and the last one, and another cold morning finds me on George Street waiting for the Laura Griffin Memorial Run to start. -
36. Resolution Run, 2009
Once again I started the New Year with a running event: the Resolution Run at Joe Riley Stadium. It was held on the 3rd this time so that it would fall upon a Saturday. -
35. Kiawah Island Marathon, 2008
Well, here it is. The Big One. My first marathon. I had been training for Kiawah for a while, but having two jobs can get in the way. After all, it's not easy to devote four hours to a long run when you have work at a Starbucks all night. -
34. Turkey Day Run, 2008
Back again for the Turkey Day Run. This run is kind of special, because it happens on an actual holiday. Thanksgiving Day, every year. -
33. Folly Beach 10 Mile Run, 2008
The course was pretty similar to the Folly Beach Save the Light Half-Marathon, but that's understandable since Folly Beach is only so big. I'm in training for a marathon, so I didn't plan on breaking my neck out there. I just wanted to cruise a bit and enjoy a good run with some familiar faces. -
32. James Island Connector Run, 2008
The James Island Connector, as I've said before, is a pretty simple race. You just run up Calhoun Street for a couple of blocks and then you're on the bridge. There are three different hills on the Connector, ranging in horror from mild annoyance to some of us, to heartache for those who are a bit less experienced. -
31. Race for the Cure, 2008
This was my third year in the Charleston, South Carolina Race for the Cure. I looked at my other two races before writing this article, and I'm a little disappointed that this year's weather didn't match up with those. -
30. USMC Mud Run, 2008
This race was a little different. It's not a simple 5K or 10K race. It's a military obstacle course, with all sorts of mud thrown in just to make it dirtier. -
29. Race for the ARK, 2008
Here we go, yet again. Another year, another cycle through these same old races. I'll miss them when I move away. -
28. Daniel Island Twilight Series 2008, Part 4
Finally, we've reached the fourth and final race of the Daniel Island Series. I didn't have too many ambitions about this race. I wanted to finish strong, but I had pulled a muscle at the previous race. I worked on it, though. By the time of this race I was back into my longer runs.
