Since we completed all of our Deep-Shoe Diver duties yesterday, today was another off day for us. I was lucky enough to meet up with Jon - the New York Guru - who's in town to assist us this weekend and squeeze in an easy 4 mile run with him! It was great to run with someone for once and hopefully we'll be able to do another before he or I leave the area.
Right now we're all getting ready - me, Zach, Shannon, Jon, and Aimee (local Guru) - to head to downtown Charleston and board the ferry to Fort Sumter!
Later that day...
Fort Sumter was pretty cool. I was a little disappointed though to learn that most of the original structure has long since disappeared and what we see now is from the Spanish-American War.

| Fort Sumter! |

| Original wall with a cannonball lodged inside! |

| The middle (smaller) cannon is an original from the Civil War, the bigger ones were brought over during the rearmament for the Spanish-American War. |
Our second boat ride was a sponsor cruise organized by the Cooper Bridge Run staff. Open bar, free food - including mini sweet potato pies...nom nom nom.... It was a lot of fun but I'm not a huge drinker and 3 hours was a long time to be the only sober person on what amounted to a booze cruise.... It was great though to be able to sit down with the local Guru - Aimee - and pick her brain for a bit about all things Brooks, community, and running!

In the morning Jon, Aimee, and I are tentatively going for a run too! So much awesome :)
Until then, #RunHappy my friends ~
