A few days ago, a friend from TNT pings me on Facebook. He’s registered for the Big Sur International Marathon with some other TNT peeps, but he’s injured and can’t run. He wants to know if I can take his place. Even though it’s free (he already paid for everything), I’m still not sure. He’s running the anchor leg: 9.2 miles. I’m training for my first race of the year in May and should run 8-9 this weekend, so it’s perfect.
I decided to do it, even though I haven’t run more than a 10k since CIM in December. Hope I don’t overdo it and get injured myself! I feel pretty good, and plan on run/walking it. It’s my first relay race and I have no idea what to expect, other than I will be waiting a long time for my turn to run. Also, there’s supposed to be a 6-hour time limit to get a medal. Wish me luck!
