When my cousin, Amy, asked me to run in in the Market to Market Relay in October, I reluctantly agreed. I'm SO glad that I did! I ran with a group of my cousins (and some of my cousin's in-laws)...and we had a blast!! I didn't train as much as I should have...but at the end of the day...I ran and finished my portion of the race and felt great that I accomplished it (despite the slight dehydration after my 2nd leg...I always do have a problem drinking my water). :) Live and Learn!

The Market to Market is an 86 mile relay run from the Omaha Old Market to Lincoln Haymarket. Relay teams can have 6 to 8 members...ours had 8, thankfully, so three of us only had to run 2 legs instead of 3. :) The race is run on all sorts of terrain through beautiful scenery. And, we just happened to luck-out and have the MOST gorgeous weather! I hope to train better this year (after my foot heals..slowly but surely) and be a better asset to the team. (We'll see what this surgery brought...but hopefully good things!)
My cousin, Amy, the Mastermind behind this whole thing. :)

Only in Nebraska...do runners have to move out of the way for a combine coming down the road. :)
