Got to sleep in this morning (I’m not sure when 7:30am became sleeping in but…) and checked the temp outside - 38

Now I know this is rather balmy for some of those more northernly than I, but for this Florida girl that is freaking cold.  I didn’t even know if I had clothes that I could wear for my run.  Some digging through the bottom of my drawer managed to produce some running tight and long sleeve shirts… add a jacket and some gloves and I was as ready as I was ever going to be to go.

Last Saturday I was dealing with 80+ degree heat during the day during Ragnar - this weekend I can see my breath.  So weird.

Bought a new pair of my old shoes which I’ve been swapping out with another pair - wore them today because is was just a short EZ run and they weren’t feeling that great on… I’ll try and break them in a little more but I don’t know about them.

Headed to spin class later… now I know why I usually run AFTER class.  eek.

This was also the last 2 legs of the entire relay - you would think that after already running almost 20 miles and having maybe 30 minutes of sleep in the previous 30 something hours that I’d at least have the sense to be nervous about doing this - but obviously delirium had already set in because I was pretty excited.

My first 2 legs were at sunset and in the middle of the night so running in the middle of the day while it was pretty darn hot was a big change. My team was awesome with having water every few miles so I could hydrate and cool down.

At 6.4 miles - I’d now run the same distance as a marathon in the past 24 hours - I was psyched.  That carried me through to the exchange (that I wasn’t going to stop at) at 8 miles.

Started fading a little at the midway point, but got a great boost from my team and some of the other teams that had suffered through the last 186 miles with us.  I know at some point it was just a matter of keeping going and making it to the finish line.

Awesome experience.  Would do it again in a heartbeat - or maybe after my toenail grows back :p
