Congratulations to Journey to a Centum Eric, who finished the Cascade Crest last weekend and he has the belt buckle to prove it. That's a 100-mile endurance run! How do you spell stud: E-R-I-C! Eric is Back of the Pack Michelle's husband and she was his road crew. She give's a great account of the race from a road crew perspective. Bring a hankie.
Congratulations are also in order to some of my running club buddies, who ran the Ragnar Relay last weekend! Their team name: Chicks with Kicks and Guys with...Attitude! It was their first relay, and I'm not sure they'll do it again. The finish was near my house, so I went over to cheer them in and take a few pictures. Among the runners that I know are Marcia, her husband Marty, Jen, Nat, Mark and Kathy. Marcia's son Matt and some of her former co-workers comprised the rest of the team. When Marcia was recruiting runners, I wanted to do it but thought I'd have moved to California by now. I sent Marcia the link to the aforementioned Michelle's account of her last relay, so that she could have an idea of what she was getting into.
Good job runners!

Yay! I ran the Ragnar relay too. It was so much fun. They may not want to do it again right now, but ask them again once they are no longer sore. :)
I missed cheering the finishers on. I was on a plane back to Chicago. :(
100 miles???!?!?!! Incredible! Will check out Back of the Pack's RR!
Relay sounds cool!
Thanks for the shout out! I'm not sure why you need a hanky though...
It isn't soreness that may deter me from doing the Ragnar in the future - it was the sleep & nutrition deprivation! The good times did outweight the bad times, though!
Dorine: It's men with "character" - not "attitude". (Probably one in the same anyway!)
Thanks for joining us at the finish line. It was super to have you there!
