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!

Leg 13 - David Ploskonka


Apparently our proximity to a shopping center and the threat of injury as a result of careless Friday-afternoon drivers spurred me on to a 49-minute 7.5 mile leg, for an average of 6:15/mile. Yes, for me, that is a borderline obscene pace; hence, the incredulous look that I have on my face in the popsicle picture that we took after this leg is not just due to the misspelling on the sign. Really, this leg was legitimately hard, with its fair share of hills, and I tore it up (also, I am very modest). :)
