Our Team

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!

First legs

All the tortoises and hares have run their first legs!

David has started our second set, and so I have a few hours before my next run. I just completed 5.15 miles in 43:40. It was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. My leg was labled "moderate" but it felt harder than that. The sun is brutal but the shade is heavenly with a nice breeze.

Now the three in our vehicle are headed to leg 9 where Jason will start his second leg running 8.2 and I will follow with 6.05.

So far so good!
