Reach The Beach Relay Race

I am strictly a fun runner - jogging away at my own pace keeping it strictly for fun.
I read a lot of other runners, most of whom are more serious than me, sticking to plans having goals… and usually, although I admire their dedication, I don’t get the itch to do the same.
Until I read Secret Girl Stuff - I am only bringing a quoting a small part of what she wrote and recommend you go on over and get joy infected as well.

The other day I was just sitting at my desk, writing UI requirements (ho hum), when an email popped into my In box, and that email bore the news that my friend’s relay team for Reach the Beach was down a member and they were looking for a runner for their team. For the uninitiated, RtB is a 200 mile, 24 hour relay race, from Franconia to Hampton Beach, NH. Basically you alternate running, driving around to different parts of the course, stinking it up in a van with your teammates, and having tons of fun all the while. Afterwards, you drink beer and eat fried seafood. Hooray!
