Race Report: Cooper River Bridge Run (2014)

The Cooper River Bridge Run is one of the most well-known races in the United States, and bills itself as "the best organized and best conducted race in the world."  I've heard about this run for quite some time, and became interested in running it when a friend of mine mentioned that he's been going down with a group of guys and their families for the past several years.

Race Report: Charlotte 10 Miler (2014)

Charlotte 10 Miler-  10 mile run through the greenways of South Charlotte off Johnston Road

Beautiful day for a ten mile race!  This was a makeup day for the original February 22nd date, which was literally washed out due to heavy flooding on the course greenways.  Start 2 Finish did an awesome job putting this on.  Twice.

Race Report: NC Half Marathon at Charlotte Motor Speedway (2014)

My first half marathon!

I've run a few 5Ks and 10Ks, and I figured it was time to take on the next challenge.  A few years ago I created a list of goals for myself, and running a half marathon was on the list.  After fits and starts of running over the past few years, this year felt like the one.
