. . . oops, I did it again!
Josh & I decided to do the largest relay marathon in the world a.k.a. Beach to Bay for a second time this year. We always have a great time doing it, but (for me anyway) I'm already stiff and sore. :) We had a great team this year, & shaved 50 minutes off our time from last year finishing 26.2 miles in 4 hours and 30 minutes. Go us!!!
Allison & me--we did it!! woohoo!!!
Our team--Kris, Josh, me, Sally, Allison & Jason. We used the Republic of Texas flags to locate our next leg in the race--it was definitely a good thing to have since there was at least 1000 people at every leg, & seeing that flag just gave us that little boost to finish up our four miles or five (if you are Josh & Jason)--right Allison?!?!!
Hanging out after the big race. :)
The fifth leg of the race--I'm at the beginning so you can't quite see me. he-he Run Amber Run!! Josh had about a 2 mile walk after his five mile run to get back to our car. I called Josh when my leg was over, and he wasn't even out of the college parking lot, so I ended up hopping in the back of some guy's truck to get to the finish. I wasn't too worried about riding in the truck . . . well, until he had me pass him up a Beer out of the cooler in his truck bed. :( But, I did make it to the end safe and sound, and then we waited . . . Josh had about 30 more minutes to sit in traffic. :(
Just a few people waiting on their team to get to the fifth leg.
Allison & me--we did it!! woohoo!!!

yes, the bathroom line continued.
yes, the bathroom line continued.And then . . . 8:33 AM, the first team makes it to the fifth leg. How did they do that?!?!
Maybe it is those skinny/muscle legs--GO!!
It was really a lot of fun. Can't wait 'til next year!! Woohoo!! Now, I'm going to take a nap and soak my feet. :)
