The Bridge


This is the Ocean Springs Bridge walk/run path.  It's the bridge we drive over every week to get to church.  Saturday early evening we took a run on it... sorry it was late evening by the time I got to the picture-taking ;o) 


Here are some pictures of the old bridge after Katrina, along with some shots of other Biloxi damage.  These aerial shots are scary.  (Note Highway 90.  We drive and walk and run down it all the time.) 


I'm such a beast.  And here are some pictures of the new bridge.  According to Wikipedia, the new Biloxi Bay Bridge only opened up in April 2008.  Until that point, people couldn't get directly from Ocean Springs to Biloxi.  (Which kind of stinks because they're only separated by about 2 miles of Biloxi's Back Bay.) 


It was a good run for me... though running with me isn't much of a challenge for "Mr. I'm in the Air Force and Too Fast For You".  But he's a good sport cause he knows how much I love family runs! :o) 


And anyone who's anyone knows it's always a good idea to eat a *super healthy* meal at Applebee's after you run ;o)
