I love the grassroots-type local races, lots of fun and often quite competitive....I think I'm going to try and do one with the kids this weekend.CheapRunnerMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929697213549484269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422411720783541847.post-43333388882958701752014-01-14T10:42:42.874-05:002014-01-14T10:42:42.874-05:00Love your pink jacket!!!!

But I did it.. and tacked on 8 other miles since I was training for my first full marathon. Almost miss those days.

If it snowed in Charleston, any race would be cancelled and everyone would be in their homes with the milk and bread they purchased and making French Toast (face it, why else would someone purchase milk and bread for a snow or a storm? Especially bc of a risk of a power outage or something, the milk would go bad?). But, I'd rather run in the extreme heat than in the rain. <br /><br />That's really awesome the volunteers cleared the ice for you guys! I can't imagine a finish with ice around there and already trying to kick it into gear. I also feel like when you're doing well in a longer race and you feel like you're in a comfortable place (2nd female!), your mind can definitely drift... at least I've noticed that. Good call to pick off the dudes, hehe. <br /><br />Those guys in the shorts and singlets out there are hardcore... I'm like you and would be wearing a hat and jacket!
