Today: We reached the beach.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]The short story: Team Off Balance reached the beach. The 200 mile story: each hour and each mile that passed was even greater than the one before.
I worry that it may take me as long to recap our relay experience as it did for my teammates and I to run from Wachussett to Westport, as it really was an incredible experience. I laughed hard, ran fast (…for the first two legs, at least), slept very little, and smiled big. While I take another shower (to make up for the ones we missed over 30+ hours of running), a few highlights:
Touring the New Balance Headquarters
New Balance Sports Performance Lab
Our homes on the road, the golden vans
Running morning, noon and night
Team Off Balance
- Sarah of Sarah Fit
- Patricia of Run Foodie Run
- Bridget of Yogurt and Berries
- Gretchen of Honey, I Shrunk the Gretchen!
- Jess of Fit Chick in the City
- Melissa of Fitness NYC
- Anne of fANNEtastic food
- Tina of Carrots ‘N Cake
- Ashley of A Healthy, Happier Bear
- Theodora of Losing Weight in the City
- Monica of Run Eat Repeat
- …and me 🙂
I am so grateful to New Balance and each of my teammates for all of the work, energy, effort and enthusiasm that went into the weekend. I’ll be back with more… just as soon as I figure out how to put all 200 miles into words.
Also On Tap for Today:
- Baby shower for my sister-in-law and brother
- Laundry, groceries and other real world things
- Quality time with Nick and Clark 🙂
What was the highlight of your weekend?
