Nice email I'd like to share
I received a nice email from one of my original running partners when I first started this whole relay stuff.
Joe, how are you? How did you do in the Boston Marathon?
I saw the October full moon the other night and started having Providian Relay withdrawal syndrome. Know what I mean? I wanted to put on my head light and run around the block a few times at 2:00 AM to get it out of my system. I really miss doing the race and had the greatest memories. There are not many things in life you can do with 12 people for five years in a row and enjoy every minute.
We'll miss him on our team, that's for sure. He's been forced to retire because of health issues, but he'll always be with us.
Of all the running I do, relays occupy a special place. To an outsider looking in, the whole event seems insane, running in the middle of the night, lack of sleep, smelly vans, pushing yourself to the limit, how could this be fun? But for us runners, relays are a blast.
