Ragnar Relay

The Ragnar Relay: Florida Keys is a 198.5 mile, 36-leg relay race of 12-member teams that starts in Miami and ends in the southernmost part of the country, Key West. I'm so excited to be running it for the first time! I've wanted to do this since, we'll pretty much since I heard that people did this sort of thing.

A couple of months ago my co-worker, who is participating in the race, asked if I would be interested in joining his team because they had a couple dropouts and needed to fill in some empty spots on the team. I, of course, accepted. Now the race is one week away, and I'm beyond excited. As of right now, I'm running in 9th position, with a 4.2 mile 1st leg, 8.1 mile 2nd leg and a 2.7 mile 3rd leg. We start on Jan. 6th sometime in the middle of the night (can't remember the exact start time) so my first leg won't be until daylight sometime. But anyway, we'll finish sometime on Jan. 7th, probably sometime after noon, and yes, we'll be running through the night.

I'm sure I'll have tons of stories to tell when I get back, and hopefully (if I can keep my phone charged) I'll be able to post a little about it on Facebook/Twitter in real time.
