My husband celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary by running the Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston SC

Our 40th wedding anniversary was a milestone that couldn't go by without doing something special.  But not with gifts etc.  We decided to run the bridge. 

Wendy Varner Cooper River Bridge Run

The bridge run is a 10K.  6.2 miles.  It's not just a race.  It's an experience.  I took that directly from their website. 😂  I have bursitis in both of my hips really bad.  I knew that was going to cause me some trouble so I took precautions by going last Monday to get steroid injections.  I thought that was going to work but alas it did not.  Aside from almost freezing to death, I had severe pain in both of my hips and the bottom of my feet.  I also suffer from Morton's Neuroma which is nerve damage in my feet which I've suffered with for years along with the bursitis.  I had surgery on my left foot but it didn't really give me an relief. 

And if you guys remember, I broke two bones in my right foot and also broke my ankle last September while visiting a friend in Detroit with my daughter and her husband.  We finished the run in just under three hours.

My husband ran the whole way.  I ran some but mostly walked.  But I finished and that's what I truly care about.  Do I want to do it again?  Heck yeah.  Will I?  Probably not. 

I'm so glad I did it though.  It is something to be proud of.
