Running Scared...

Tomorrow I run the Wasatch Back! For those of you who haven't heard of it, it's a 180-mile relay race that starts in Logan and ends in Park City. We have a 12-person team, and each member runs three legs of the distance. So, all total I'm running 13 miles over the course of two days. My first leg is Friday evening, my second Saturday around 4:00 in the morning, and my final leg is Saturday evening.

Our team name is "Running Scared" and I think it's appropriate. I've never been so unprepared for something so strenuous. I haven't adequately trained, since I joined the team pretty late and my IT Band on my left knee hurts so badly that Kay, my faithful running companion of two years, had to walk me home from our 5-miler on Monday. Lame!

So, hopefully I'll live through the ordeal to write about my experiences, because if nothing else, it promises to be memorable!
