The Mother of All Relays


I had the pleasure; challenging, exhausting, fun pleasure
of running in the Hood to Coast this weekend! I joined a
team from Canada which included a few co-workers.


We spent some long, gruling hours in this lovely van!
Many of you know this relay is some of the best fun imaginable-
if you're into running. The lack of sleep is the hardest part for me.
Our team started at 10:15 friday morning and finished at Seaside
around 3:30 Saturday afternoon.


Each runner has three legs to run. Mine included two legs approximately
four miles long and one a little over seven miles. At the exchange you're
so excited to see your team member waiting for you to hand them the baton.
Don't worry, we didn't drop it!


We were all thrilled to be done and at the beach in the
beautiful, warm weather.
