Jersey Shore Relay

This morning I received an email from a friend's brother.  It was a link asking me (telling - actually) to sign up for the Jersey Shore Relay Marathon  http://www.jerseyshorerelay.org/index.php?p=registration.  What could I do?  I dropped a check in the mail to him & I am in!  I also have recruited 2 of my other friends to (hopefully) do this race.  The 2 Katies!  I am hoping that they both sign up to be on my relay team.  I think we will have a great team - all girls so far, which will be fun.  I am also hoping that said brother's sister (does that make sense?) will end up being on my team too.  We will be a crazy (pronounced cwazy) bunch!

I've never done this race, but it's supposed to be a great time.  Starting in Seaside & finishing in Asbury Park, now that's a hike.  I think I want to be in for the Spring Lake - Belmar portion, as that is my usual outdoor run route.  Perhaps I can "suggest" that's the portion I'd like to run.

It takes place on April 16th, which is Jerry's birthday, which is quite fitting because he is the main reason that I took up running almost 10 years ago.  Even though it took me a really long time (probably a good 6-7 years) to get into a good running groove, I've stuck to it for over 3 years & it's become part of my daily life.  Now, I'm still not a great runner & I'm still slow, but it's something I enjoy doing.  I almost can't believe it myself!

So if you're interested, or if you want to donate to a great cause, or just come on down & cheer us on, we'd love it!
