Ragnar Relay

What's that?

Good question. That is a map. A map from New Haven, Connecticut to Boston, Mass. Did you know there are 200 miles between New Haven and Boston? Well, now you do. Want to know something else? Me and a team of 11 ladies are running all 200 miles, in 1 day, in relay form.

Get excited.

Oh, did I mention we'll be wearing costumes? That's right. My team name is Pippy Long Run in My Stockings. I'm running 200 miles with pig tails and knee-high striped socks. Go ahead and laugh, I'll be laughing, too, for 24 hours straight... or crying from sleep deprivation, full body cramps, and smelly armpits. Whatev.

Anyway, I'm definitely not the conventional runner (read: I hate running), and since it's -30 F outside as I type this, I'm going to have to get creative with training. But I'm up for a challenge, and I'm sure you're up for seeing post-race pictures of me in my sweaty, knee socky, afro-y glory.

If you aren't excited now, get off my blog.

Let's get training, kids!!!
