A few posts ago Chris's post about her run with Maddy mentioned Maddy's suggestion about all running the 2009 Disney Marathon together. Now I will confess I had been thinking of suggesting running a race together next year and Maddy's suggestion is a good one. I can't think I'd be able to keep the family away from this one, for one thing.
But Greg made a different suggestion a week or so ago and I thought I should run it past all of you. He suggested we get a team together to run the Reach for the Beach Relay in New Hampshire next September. This would involve about 1o or 12 of us running a 200 miles across the state in legs of different legs - travelling as a team in 2 vans and supporting whichever one of us is running the race. I've just read a piece in this month's UK RunnersWorld about running relay races and it just seems like so much fun - and we'd be such a great team!
At this point in time there is no information on the website about the 2008 race but if we are interested and can get a team together, I'm quite happy to help to organise this? I could certainly contact the race directors and see what information I could pull together. So what do you think guys?

I love the idea. I think my hubby and I would go for it!
Now for a clever name...look at this year's results and see if we could come up with a good name.
Excellent. 10 is a minimum (so we're not running more than 20 miles a piece). We don't have to sign up until April 1, so we have some time.
Love it!
Sounds like fun but next year I'm planning to run a marathon in New Hampshire that's also in September (usually the last week). If the relay is within a week of the marathon (but not the same weekend) in 2008, I might be able to do it!
With enough time, it would be an interesting prospect. I am excited at being able to meet everyone and run in a project like this!
Running together anywhere would be really cool. Keep me in the loop Petra!
