I live in South Carolina...I love where I live...Lots of wonderful things go on here and around town...Lots of people in blogville have come to Charleston to vacation...You love where you live ...lots of wonderful things happen in your town...A couple of weekend's ago we had the Bridge Run, about 40 thousand people walked or ran this race, The Summerville Flowertown Festival , and the Cajun Fest...all taking place here...and I would love to share this with all of you.. What big event takes place where you live... Maybe your vacation...Do you have a favorite restaurant , your child's B-Day party...The list goes on if it happens in your town and you like to talk about it ...You can bet that someone here in blog land wants to hear about it... Or are you planning a trip and would like to know where the best places to eat are... maybe you will find it here...Now I will share the bridge run with you all to get us started..

GOING THE DISTANCE

Meet Bob Walton : retired Oakland Elementary School principal, he started running in the mid-1960s, and he hasn't stopped. He has the mementos, trophies and medals to relish the fond memories of running races all over the United States.Bob says he never really thought about his rare feat- running all the previous Bridge Runs-until being interviewed for the 25th annual event. He is one of only a handful of men who have run all of the Bridge Runs since the beginning in 1978...He says "He was just having fun"...





Nine minutes till the race...everyone is warming up...



Five...Four...Three...Two...One...And their off...This is the 20th largest race in the WORLD...

Men's winner Simon Ndirangu (3) is clumped with the other leaders - Ridouane Harroufi (from left), Rilahun Regassa, Enock Mitei (6) and Rogert Letting (2).Ndirang won the race in 27 minutes and 49 seconds, just nine seconds off the course record...

Assefa, an Ethiopian competing in Charleston for the first time, won the women's division with a time of 32 minutes, 31 seconds ... first- place prize for the race was 10,000.00 And now on to the fun stuff...


Oh yes I do have a mirror at my house...Yes I am going to run in this outfit...How did you know that my buddies bet me fifty dollars to run in this get -up...




40,000 people make a lot of trash...

Twenty five minutes after the gun went off the last of the runners and walkers went over the start line....
