Toots and Sally Ride Again

I had a great run at the Beach to Bay relay marathon this weekend. I ran the 3rd leg (the infamous bridge) which is 4.4 miles long in just under 40 minutes. It wasn’t as bad a leg as it’s been made out to be, but it was hot. Technically it wasn’t as hot as it’s been in the past, but running next to the water on an elevated concrete bridge on a sunny day sure makes it feel like a scorcher! We had a good team, Jason pulled through, but I missed Sally & Lumpy. For some reason, as a team, we just can’t seem to break the 4 hour mark. One of our team members was in a car accident just 2 days before the marathon. He was ok, but the doc recommended that he not run…. We’re glad he didn’t back out because there is no way we could have found a replacement, but he had to walk his 4 mile leg. Regardless, we still finished in a decent time of 4:39. Maybe next year…Sally, Lumpy, you guys in?
