Countdown
Our race (Wasatch Back Relay) is at the end of the week and I just hope that we're ready for it. Eamonn and I did our last good run last night up the River Trail again. I was getting some slight pains and soreness running so I decided that it's probably best not to run again until Wednesday morning when we are going to do our morning run (3.7 miles) as our last run before the race. Hopefully a couple days off will help and I won't develop shins splints or some other pain during the race. While reading through some of the instructions for the race, I found out that if someone on our team gets injured (which is likely right now as some already are injured), then someone else on the team must run for that person. We can't have a substitute runner on hand that would run only if someone got injured. So if there is an injury, some people would end up running 4 legs instead of 3. And if it's a female, a female must run at least half of the remaining legs. Seeing as how there are 4 of us females on the team, one of us better not get injured for the sake of the others. As if 18.5 total miles isn't enough...
