I just finished my first leg. 6.6 miles in 46 min. Not too bad but I felt awful.
It was darker than the inside of Mamouth Cave. There were times that the path disappeard under my feet. My only light was a green flicker from under my drenched cap. It [...]

I’m up next. Unfortunately, I’ve lost a couple of my joggling bags!! I now have to run with a completely new set and they’re not even Gballz.

My first [...]

While we wait in Mill Lake, we eat at Mulligan’s Mill of Joseph Megan’s. Six runners, six Miller Lite beers. Now this is a race a joggler can embrace. But only 1 for this juggling runner. I’ve gotta stay sharp for my 9 mile finale.
What does the anchor leg [...]

First runner up is Lisa. She starts with a ‘We got Balls’ t-shirt, a contraband iPod and a pink runner skirt. She even held the Gballz as the race started.
We headed off to the 6th exchange stop. Now, the juggling runner gets to wait until about 9 PM. [...]
