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!

We did it!

Well we are on our way home, driving through the beautiful Tennessee mountains. I'm a little sore and sunburned, but otherwise just fine. I'm too excited about what we've accomplished to care about red shoulders anyway.

I will probably write a better recounting of the event when I'm at home with a real keyboard and my bedroom shoes on my tired feet.

But I would like to say that it was an amazing experience! We had an awesome team and we all gave it all we had and did so well! It was hard. Really hard at times. But we all took what each leg gave us and did what we needed to do to complete it. And we've got some great memories now to remind us of what we can do if we set our minds on doing it.

Anyway, a full account to come later. Thanks to everyone who kept us in your thoughts and prayers!
