I like the beach.
I like running.
I like blogger friends.
(I also like Rainbow sandals and cannot wait until summer returns. But I digress.)
So when Tina asked if I wanted to participate in the Reach the Beach relay in Massachusetts, I was obviously in.
It’s a 24-hour, 200-mile relay race that starts in Wachusett, Mass. and ends in Westport, Mass. (Two town names that mean nothing to me, but I’m sure are lovely places where people use the word “wicked” a lot.)
You know you’ve become a runner when you read other bloggers’ posts about running in the middle of the night and sleeping in vans and you’re jealous. I am so freaking excited for this, and I’ve read every single one of these ladies’ recaps from nuun’s Hood to Coast team last year…
For work purposes! New Balance, one of my clients at work, is a sponsor of the race–and our team–which means that I am in the very interesting (and awesome) position of both working on this account and running on this team.
How many bananas can one girl eat in 24 hours?
I’ll be running with the lovely:
Together, the 12 of us will be Team Off Balance. Which I think suits us very well.
No idea why I chose Frank Sinatra lyrics to name my last post on this…
As I mentioned in my last post, I've really been going through it with headaches.…

I have been thinking about this post for a while—on why diet culture is unhealthy…
I woke up this morning already feeling anxious. (Yay!) My standard iPhone alarm is set…
I read The Midnight Library over the weekend, and I need to talk about it.…

after 24 hours you might be "team off our rockers" from the exhaustion.
Y'all should think about doing the Rouge-Orleans one year, 126.2 miles on the Mississippi River levee from Baton Rouge to New Orleans
Soooo to RTB... See you there :-)
I love relays! You're going to have so much fun :) Yayayay.
i am SO FREAKING JEALOUS! haha I have wanted to do a relay since I saw Meghann's at mealsandmiles post about ragnar...I've been trying to get a team together for the NY or PA Ragnar, but I don't have 12 friends that are crazy runners! haha
That sounds like a blast! I'm running Ragnar Cape Cod in May and am SOOO excited.
Your job is kinda cool :) Those hard months of unemployment are paying off!
That sounds like SO much fun! ENJOY! :)
Oh NBC used tobe my client too! What do you do for them?
Seriously relays are so fun and I think more fun with nutty bloggers :) doing my second blogger relay this summer
@Amanda: NBC or New Balance? :) For New Balance, I do social media/blogger outreach and strategy.
I think we should try to break the world record for number of bananas used as phones in a 24-hour period. Because I'm sure that there's a record for that.
