Ready to Ragnar!

Friends, I’m coming to you from Chattanooga, TN right now!

Several weeks ago, I got an email from the kind folks at Reebok asking if I wanted to run the Tennessee Ragnar with them. EFF YES. 

^^ My general attitude to races/race opportunities.

This will be the third relay I’ve run (my first [nearly 5 years ago!!!] and second), and I am that weirdo who doesn’t mind (too much!) sleeping in a van and running at weird times (like overnight.)

This trip/race feels so much like it was meant to be — I’d really wanted to travel alone somewhere this year (I’m going to stay in Nashville, where we end, an extra night to explore), I wanted to really get back to my running and Nashville has been on my shortlist of domestic places to visit for a long time!

I’ve been ramping my running up and am a bit nervous about running three times in 24 hours, but I’ve done more/harder things before. ..so I should be ok?

BRB, running to Nashville; catch you on the other side! 

Have you ever done a relay? Would you do a relay? Am I crazy?
