For those of you who think I'm a tad bit "off" for waking up one day and deciding to train for a half marathon in twelve weeks, perhaps it all makes more sense when I tell you I'm related to one of the members of "No Runner Left Behind," pictured here. Yes, that's sister Hippo on the bottom left in the front row (wearing the cardinal red windbreaker and shiny medal). Collectively, these nuts ran 200 miles from Cannon Mountain to Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, in just under 31 hours in the "Reach the Beach" relay.
Props to the the "No Runner Left Behind" team for a great run!
This is sister hippo passing off the baton. She looks a little postal, no? Someone give her some Gatorade and some Gu.
This is sister Hippo's boyfriend. (Note the perfectly coiffed hair even after miles of running.)
