Runner 9

Just finished my first leg of the day. 5.6 miles and mostly dry. Only a slight misting :) I learned its better to go a little faster if that means you get company. I caught Jill about a mile and a half in. We decided having company made the whole thing more bearable. Turns out Jill is from the 'No (Fresno for all you non Central Valley types). This is her third relay and she also has four marathons under her belt. I don't think she learned as much about me, I was too busy breathing like a rhino (new phrase courtesy of my new buddy Jill). One down, two to go.
