We are six runners from Alabama, Tennessee, and Maryland who are training to run the Blue Ridge Relay, September 5-6, 2008. The six of us will share the 208 miles from Grayson Highlands State Park in Virginia to Asheville, North Carolina. We plan to use this blog to write about our training experiences as we get ready to run, and to post updates here during the race itself so our friends and family can follow us along our 208 mile journey.

Here we go!

2 Legs down, 4 to go

We all just finished our 2nd legs and are still standing. I just completed 6.05 miles in 56:10. It was hard with long stretches of winding uphill roads, but I had mostly shade and I felt strong.

I have a 4.9 leg next and Jason will probably run it with me since it will be dark.

I'm a little tired but not extremely so. I'm definitely salty, smelly, and sunburned though.

As Eric said, PFM - perpetual forward motion. :)

Be sure to rest and hydrate. Hope E is doing well....; September 5, 2008 at 6:35 PM
