Every year it's a goal of mine to do the Cooper River Bridge Run (or, to be more specific: the walk), and so far, something has happened every year to thwart those efforts.One year I had to work. Another I had an important appointment. Yet another I was out of town.
Last year, it was my granddaughter's birth -- and don't get me wrong, that was WAY more important (I do have priorities!), but trust me, I was too tired to walk to my car after spending an entire day and night at the hospital helping "birth that baby," much less walk across a bridge that, quite frankly, I don't enjoy driving across.
This year, it's a matter of air capacity in my lungs. I have been hacking and coughing -- as all of you must have noticed because I find a way to mention it almost every blog posting -- so I cannot walk the bridge and will have to wait another year. And yet I'm not heartbroken. Funny that. Nevertheless, the bridge run is still my favorite annual physical fitness attempt -- enough to rate a "favorite things Friday."
Next year, you guys. Next year I swear I'll do it.

April 4 PAD challenge poem: haiku
Call them "April fools"
They run across the Cooper
It's a bridge too far

Maybe I'm just too lazy, but I'd give up by now if it were my goal! Lol! But I did do that March of dimes walk last year with Jackie. And THAT was too much for me lol!
