Congrats on your bridge run! Our bridge run here is called the Cooper River Bridge Run and I like how yours has Cooper in the name as well. Also, I’m not sure how much say you have in Sparkly Soul, but they should definitely consider the 2016 Cooper River Bridge Run expo… just sayin’. They would sell a lot of headbands.
Glad that XC went well even if you missed Halloween (at least you have those Mr. Goodbars, right?).
