HMRRC Winter Marathon Relay 2012
Sunday was the HMRRC Winter Marathon. Spontaneously, Melissa, our friend Kristin and I decided to be on a relay team for the marathon. If you’ve been reading a while you might remember I ran leg 2 of this race last year on a team and it was one of the hardest things I’ve done because of the bone chilling weather. With much milder weather this year (in the 30s, hurray!) and a shining sun, it was a gorgeous day for a marathon (relay)!

HMRRC Winter Series #4 – 3M

I’m glad I did because I felt slow, cold and tired the whole 3 miles and just wanted to get it done with. It probably didn’t help that I didn’t drink enough water beforehand either. Bad preparation on my part. The 15K would have gone terrible. I ran the three miles in 28:08, 9:22/mile average. I was glad to have Alicia and Melissa to run with for…
