WOW!! This weekend was definitely jam packed and exhausting! I could probably sleep for 2 days straight, but I can’t, so I won’t. But I will give you guys a recap and some thoughts…
- My wife and a couple of our friends ran the Cooper River Bridge Run this weekend!
- I love that my wife’s family lives in Charleston (I LOVE Charleston it’s so beautiful)!
- 10Ks in humid areas on tall bridges…hurt!
- Everyone in our group finished within the ‘goal time’ we had set for ourselves!
- Meghan and Vanessa finished in 1:14, WAY under goal time! So proud!
- They also managed to make it on TV during the local coverage of the race!
- I finished in 56:45, goal was to be under an hour!
- My wife…is AWESOME!
- I’m trying to decide whether or not I should begin training for a half-marathon…?
- The logistical planning and communication that goes into the Bridge run blew my mind! I’m still thinking about it all!
- Thanks to everyone who gave suggestions for new “run playlist” ideas for my iPod.
- There’s been talk of making the Cooper River Bridge Run an annual thing for us.
- People wore costumes for the Cooper River Bridge Run (box cars, red dresses & heels, brides dresses, speedos & shoes, etc) this was…weird!
- Driving home late Saturday evening (with 4 services the next day)…leaves you tired on Sunday!
- I’d love to run the Disney Marathon by 2010…or 2011 maybe?
- My wife and I are taking a small vacation this weekend and I can’t wait! Some R&R time together to just hang out!
Well, that’s all I have for now. I’d love to hear from you guys though! For instance, if I do decide to run a half-marathon this year, what half marathons/ marathons are out there (you guys might know about) that you would recommend?
How was your weekend?
Thanks guys!

Great job on the run Pudge! We ran back to back camps for two weeks and then rolled into the offices to launch 4 internationally. And then I joined a gym. Today I racked up 10 kms on the tread mill, I maybe be coming for your PB

Pudge,
The half marathon that I would suggest is the Rock N Roll Half at Virginia Beach. I am pretty sure the date is August 31st 2008. Great FLAT course with the finish ending on the boardwalk. Beautiful area. The website is http://www.rnrvb.com The price to run also includes a concert on the beach. Once you complete that one, you all will be ready for the Disney Marathon in January 2009
A group of us from NewSpring has done the Bridge Run the last couple of years and I have talked them into running the Half in Virginia Beach. This will be my third Virginia Beach Run, again great course.

Kiawah Island in December…there’s a half and a full marathon. It’s flat and the weather will be nice and cool.

Hey Pudge!
I hate to just stick this as an unrelated comment on this post, but I was at Unleash the other week with several others from our church. I have recently been asked to take over the children’s ministry at our 8 month old church plant, and I was wondering if you could give a newcomer to CM any advice. No rush or anything…I imagine you stay super busy at NewSpring. If you get a chance, my email is justatron@gmail.com. Thanks!
