The Longest Day - 16 Hour Relay. Done.

Yesterday, Rachel and I piled into the van in the pitch dark of the early morning and headed into the unknown.

We planned to run for 16 hours around a track, one hour on, and one hour off, from 5am til 9pm.

We were a little terrified, but mostly relieved that the day was finally here.

We could not have imagined how extraordinary the day would turn out to be.  I'll write a full recap next week, but here is a video I made of our day:

Today, I feel... happy.  So, so happy.

I ran 39.25 miles. 

I am an ULTRAMARATHONER.

And I have the blisters to prove it.

(don't worry, blister pictures coming soon you sickos)
