Especially when you mentioned the darkness of Mammoth Cave! Hats off to you and your team for trying something new and getting great exercise while you're at it!

I actually live in Chicago (Bucktown) and often run and juggle to the lake and back. I often hit lots of north side neighborhoods. Nice write-up of your GMR experience too. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, we started with people who were much quicker than us. It would've been more enjoyable to be around a lot of other teams.

You probably aren't the person I have seen juggling and running around my Chicago neighborhood....but if you are, nicely done. It's fun to watch as I don't think I could walk and juggle let alonge run and juggle. I did the GMR race as well this weekend and thought it was a blast. We are looking forward already to doing this again next year. Nice job on your final leg. I bet it felt good to run on the path Hey nice post.

I agree with Mrs. Joggler that the night runners need to share their experiences. Next year I will not be passed. =) (Unless they start us late again) A few things to remember for next year: 1. Tent (to set up at major checkpoints so sleeping in a smelly-ass van with five other smelly-ass runners doesn't have to happen) 2. Sleeping bag (for the tent) 3. Scope out the areas at major checkpoints so some activities can be planned while waiting 5 hours. (Like bowling) 4. Portable shower - It might be bulky, but after that third leg it would be so worth it. Nice wrap up. I agree with Mrs. Joggler that the night runners need to share their experiences.

I think that Lisa and Carla need to share their nighttime running experiences with us! Van 1 definitely had some interesting experiences as well. This was a lot of fun though and thanks to Carla, our captain, for organizing! Good entries Perry. I think that Lisa and Carla need to share their nighttime running experiences with us!

So in the big scheme of things while some people may not clip out 7-8 minute miles, who cares we can run and live. We've got Balls will have a better time next year, I know that.
