26.2

(relay, not solo :) )

Meet Meg, ML, Fran, and Linds.

I will save a sappy, emotional blog post for when we all graduate, but suffice to say, these ladies have been the most incredible support system during the past 4 years.

A couple months ago we decided to run the Mercedes Marathon Relay together, and we had a blast! Lindsay hosted a carbo-loading party last night (which, let's be honest, was just an excuse to get together and laugh and eat a lot of food), and the race started bright and early this morning.

26.2 miles is pretty tolerable when it's divided into 5 legs. Mine was 6.3 miles and it was >>>>>> than running 13.1. Lindsay ran our anchor leg, and we all hopped in the last 100 yards or so to finish together. We couldn't have asked for better weather or a more enjoyable time together. Thanks to my hubby for being our camera man!

After a giant lunch (or maybe it was 2 lunches) and a hot shower, my muscles felt like jello and I spent the rest of the afternoon resting on the couch. Totally worth it though.

Back to reality...
