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!

The Adventure Begins

Jason and I got up before the sun this morning to finish loading up and head to Knoxville to pick up Eric from the airport. Then the three of us will head to Boone, NC to spend the night before driving to the start line tomorrow morning.

Our new start time is 9:00 a.m.Eastern time. Since we've added two more teammates, our team of tortoises and hares will move more quickly through our legs. In theory. :)

I haven't run in two days. I hadn't planned to taper quite this much, but race preparation and anniversary celebration has gotten in the way. I think these two days off will work in my favor, as I'll be raring to go tomorrow morning.

That's all for now! Stay tuned as our adventure draws even closer!
