Jess had a great idea on Monday night - let's run and then grab a beer. She ran the Hood to Coast Relay Race out in Portland, OR on Fri/Sat with family and friends and rocked it - running 3 legs of 6, 5 and 7 something miles, uphill, in the dark, backwards, with a monkey on her back. Okay, just kidding on the last two, but you know what I mean. Those relay races are tough and not just physically b/c you are in a van with 5 other people and racing around 200 miles to run and then sit for hours on end. Totally fun just totally draining and a great reason to celebrate our 6 weeks of intense training!
It was so hot during the day that we decided to run at 8:30pm in hopes of not melting on the sidewalk. We put on our speed shorts and coolracer tanks, grabbed our IDs, some cash and were out the door. We ran across the Brooklyn Bridge, bought tall boys (Big Joe style) and walked across the bridge with our well-deserved beers.
