  • 17. Reindeer Run, 2007

    Time again for the Reindeer Run. You know, it's kind of strange going through the Charleston races for the second time. There are lots of little differences. First of all, everybody seems to want to start at 9am this year.
  • 16. Turkey Day Run, 2007

    Once again it was time for the Turkey Day Run in Downtown Charleston. It was the first race of the season with a downtown course, so I had a chance to run part of my regular downtown course without having to worry about traffic.
  • 15. James Island Connector Run, 2007

    This is the first time I've done the Connector. It's a pretty simple race. You run over the James Island Connector Bridge, turn around and then come back. Ten kilometers altogether.
  • 14. Race for the Cure, 2007

    Once again I participated in the Charleston, South Carolina Race for the Cure. All of these running events are attached to some sort of good cause, but this one is a little different. The primary reason is the breast cancer survivors who are walking around the place. The second reason... well, that's a bit more personal.
  • 13. Dam Run to Irmo, 2007

    Well, it finally happened. I've participated in a race that I would not suggest to anyone else. The aptly named "Dam Run" was a disorganized joke. Oh, I'm sure that some of the locals would disagree, but trust me... it was a poorly organized race with an extremely crummy course.
  • 12. Race for the ARK, 2007

    Here it is, another race article. The cause this one is dedicated to is the ARK. It stands for Adult Respite... uh, Care. Yeah, I know. They wanted to spell it like the boat, so what can you do?
  • 11. July 4 Cross Country Run, 2007

    I have this calendar from the 2006 Cooper River Bridge Run. It's wonderful, and I can't wait to receive the next one. It has all of the local running events in it. Everything from the Resolution Run to the Reindeer Run, all through the year. Usually there's the event name and maybe some other information. This time, it just said "to be announced" and had a phone number.
  • 10. Run Forrest Run, 2007

    I couldn't turn this one down. It was free. For those of you who don't know, I'm a computer operator for the Accounting Department at Coburg Dairy. Our story began when Robert walked up to my desk with a registration form and told me that Coburg Dairy was sponsoring a local 5K race at the baseball stadium, of all places, along with the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company.
  • 9. Cooper River Bridge Run, 2007

    March 31, 2007 was the day of the 30th Annual Cooper River Bridge Run, and I was right there in the middle of it. This year I had more trouble with the crowds, and it shows in my times when compared with last year. That's okay, though. Unless you're a professional runner, this event is more for fun than anything else.
  • 8. Flowertown Festival Run, 2007

    This article is a bit photo-heavy, but it's light on the chatter. I thought it would be fun to actually take my camera with me during a race. I have a project coming up in my Digital Photography class which requires a visual narrative, so I submitted the idea of documenting a race or two. (It's not as if I'm really going out of my way.)
