Got over it!

The Cooper River Bridge Run is a great race for all levels. Iam a perpetual beginner, as Iave been on a weight loss journey and still canat jog a quarter mile without stopping. Nevertheless, the race was a lot of fun, and gave me something to work towards. The race expo was great, but I wish more vendors made me feel welcome as a plus size athlete(thatas right- I consider myself an athlete!). There was one amazing vendor who catered to Athena athletes (Rsport). The race itself was fun, but one thing that was kind of a bummer was that a lot of the bands stopped playing before we even got to them. We were in the last corral, and then stopped for restrooms, and by that time, we were probably in the last couple hundred people. Many of the bands had stopped playing and weare starting to pack up by the time we got to them. Loved that vote of confidence (sarcasm). Love the medal this year, and the post race festivities were great. Iall definitely be doing it again.
