Quickie Race Report: Cooper River Bridge Run
Short version: the incline on the bridge was fine for me, but a big deal to everyone else. The temperature was fine for everyone else, but very hot and a big deal for me.

Let me eat cake!
My breakfast this morning: (Not the whole thing, just a piece of it. And not the entire piece that is gone.) But you know what? Let’s compare the cake to some things that my coworkers are eating:Nothing: 0 cals, 0g fatDunkin’ Donuts caramel latte: 260 cals, 9g fatBirthday cake: 443 cals, 20g fatStarbucks bagel and cream cheese: 470 cals, 17g fatFresh City wild blueberry muffin: 600 cals, 29g fat When you look at those of us that actually had food (as opposed to nothing or a coffee), I actually did the best. So THERE.
