MCM/SD 100-mile relay!

Idea: Toby is running 100 miles by himself this weekend. We support our community and we're all runners ourselves. We should have a nation-wide 100-mile relay... we could all chip in some miles to morally support Toby! Even if we can't be there to support him directly, wouldn't it be fun if we could do something else to keep him in our thoughts?

So here's what I'm thinking: if he can do 100 by himself, we can run 100 combined, right?

Anyone in for the first annual MCM Community 100-mile relay? I'll "pledge" 8 miles!

I do today what you won't, so tomorrow I do what you can't.

Up Next: Rest! And celebrating my JFK50 finish with a vacation in Roma! | My Running Blog

Re: MCM/SD 100-mile relay!

I'll contribute whatever miles I run this weekend - either an 8K race or an 8 - 9 mile run Saturday. I haven't decided which.

We've come this far and it's still the same,
Runnin' out here in the rain.
Just one more mile, if only you could fly.

Hm....I don't suppose it would be fair of me to pledge him some cookies, would it? I gotta figure this one out. Hmmmm.

God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.

No no no, last week's miles don't count! You gotta run 'em during Toby's race!

You'll have to find out what he likes to eat on his runs. Maybe chocolate chip cookies go down real good for him.

Those are this coming Saturday's miles; I'm not sure how the time works out, but they'll be fresh!

With Toby clearly having the right stuff, we may need some didgeridoo players, clapsticks, and a bonfire as we cheer his cosmic pacing of the sun...........
