Reach the Beach Recap!

So, this weekend was Reach the Beach (RTB). Had an awesome time. We finished in 31h 4 mins for a pace of 9:03. How awesome is that? I ran each of my legs in under 8:45 - not really sure where the burst of speed came from - I never run that fast, nor do I run that fast in mountains (I'm not calling them hills, because we ran through freaking mountains). Really had a great time, was happy with my paces and loved the experience. Super excited for next year already!

I'm working on uploading the pictures, so once I do, I'll post the link. YAY Your Pace or Mine (my team name)!

Weekend Recap

This weekend was our pre-race trip the trails - 20 miles total (10 out and 10 back). The Chicago team went to New Jersey and ran actual trails (you know, dirt, rocks, trees, etc). It was hot and humid. Not one of my best runs, but now its done and the marathon is less then 30 days away! OMG!

This weekend is Reach the Beach. It's a 200 mile relay race in New Hampshire. We're heading up to NH on Thursday night and start running Friday morning. I am very excited - should be excellent.

My insanity continues

Less then 40 days until Reach the Beach (RTB). For those of you who don't know, RTB is a 200 mile relay race through New Hampshire. I am really excited to do it! I don't know yet which leg I will be running, but it will most likely be between 16 - 19 total miles. We'll be heading up on Thursday and coming home on Sunday. So excited! Should be an excellent time.

Insane...

More proof that I have lost my mind. I am officially registered to do Reach the Beach - a 200 mile relay race in New Hampshire (www.rtbrelay.com). Yep. I'm crazy. Check out this video from a previous years race:
