South Carolina. The Bridge Run isn't a marathon. But the Isle of Palms in SC is a marathon or a half-marathon. I ran the half-marathon. People who ran the full marathon went around the course twice. I was so slow that I finished at the same time the full marathon winner did! :lol:

I've run the Bridge Run several times in the past, and did the Bridge Walk a few years after I couldn't run anymore. It wasn't easy but it was always fun. Except for the real serious runners who compete for the prize money, the other runners try to get their personal best times, and have a social occasion on the bridge. Some people run it in groups, some in costumes. It makes it interesting.

Thanks! I wish i had passion for running to win the prize but i only do it for my personal best times. I want to be like my aunt who used to run for years. I thought she was crazy but i understand now as to why she loved it. Wish she was alive so i could have a chance to run with her. ah i see, it is in South Carolina. mmm If we plan to go away for a vacation in SC then i will look up to see if the race time is the same as vacation time ten i would love to try it.

thansk.
 
Just did a mini triathlon (400m swim, 9.3 mile bike, 3.1 mile run). It was hard as hell, especially the swim part. Swimming in TN river is NOTHING compared to swimming in a nice little lap pool with a line on the floor to help you keep straight (with nobody bumping into you). Running was still my weakest leg, so I think I'm going to start participating in 5k runs to help me improve my running.

WOW! Congratulations!!!!!


Send me the link for the score. I am curious!
hehehe
 
I know. I used to hate running till I hit age 40. All of a sudden, I start to run. I admit that the first 1 miles was hard then it gets easier and easier within 3 miles. I only can do for 6.2 miles that is an hour. I have not gone past 1 hour yet. I am still working on it very slowly. lol

I haven't signed up for a 5K yet. I do have another triathlon coming up that is a bit longer than my last one: 600 yd swim / 16.2 mi bike / 3 mi run

Thankfully, the run part is the same distance as the last one. :)
It's on Aug 13th.

Currently looking for local 5K runs...

Thank you. My aunt and uncle used to run together for many years. Eventually they got their sore knees too. Ugh I asked them how to avoid it. Nothing just dont run. :lol: sadly, my aunt passed away a couple of years ago. My uncle continues to run only if he goes with his grandson who is 9 yrs old have interests for 5k. wow! He said, "just take it easy on knees" that is it. True. I will figure out how to take it easy but impossible to avoid it. I used to hate running until last fall. For some reason it hits me hard and i just started running. I ll see how far I would run and it is not a year yet. until in the fall it will be a year for me to run.
I hope dr will be able to give you some comforts for your hip. I feel you about it. :( I admire you for running the race every month. I didn't. I only did the 10k run two times. hopefully i will attend the 10k run in sept as it is in my hometown.

yes. there is the only way to reduce chance of bad ligament/joint problem later on from running.

simple - build a good amount of leg muscles beforehand aka horse legs so that while running, your leg muscle is doing most of the work, not joint/ligament.

Don't really like to run.. I get side stiches often whenever I run. I used to play soccer for 3 years, a year on basketball and baseball and I still get side stiches. I don't know why! I'm not really looking forward to mornings at band camp this week and next week because I know they're going to make us run for about 15 minutes, and when i slow myself down to get a breather and to get on a steady pace, they yell at me to run faster. They don't know the pain i'm going though!
 
I only run if something real big and real mean is chasing me.

Aww I am aware about the damaged knees. :(

I first time tried the 10k run at age 40. I did the second time with 10k run last month. I plan to participate 10k run in sept. My goal is to do the 10k for 3 times in 2011. I have never tried the 5K but i dont regret about the first time with 10K race instead. I am working on trying to participate the one half marathon but i am not ready! lol

i know there is no way to avoid or find a way to take it easy on knees. :( I only run about 3 times a week.
