Driggs and Will on ABC
We made the Charleston's News Channel 4.

Bek, Driggs, Taylor, Lanny Jr, Rebecca Dodds, and I all ran or walked the Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston this past weekend. 10K or 6.2 Miles.


Bek ran it in 1:11:19 and placed 17878**.

Lanny Jr ran it in 0:52:13 and placed 3999.

Taylor ran it in 1:21:02 and placed 21341.

Becca Dodds ran it in ... well I cant find her results, but I know she ran it.

Keep in mind the winner of the race was Tilahun Regassa, 20-year-old from Ethiopia TIME: 28:24!!!!!!!


If you move ahead to 2:10 you can see Driggs and I. We were 2 out of 38,000 people in the race. I finished 6.2 miles with a time of 1:51:54 and placed 27717 carrying approximately 26 lbs.

I can't embed it for some reason so here is the link.

4) How Come???

I can't figure it out she must have passed you in a time space continuum..... that's truly the only obvious answer.

5) Is she in another group because she is a minor? Maybe she was 21341 in the youth division.

6) I know that is bad grammar. Whatever. I'm country. No divisions. I really don't care. 26,000th and 21,000th place are both the same as far as I am concerned! It was really fun though, can't wait until next year!!!

15) Oh, there's a term for that type of dancing? That's what happens when I have a few alcoholic beverages and there's music playing. Or maybe there's not music playing. And generally I do it alone.
