This year Team Mac is running the Texas Independence Relay . The race is a relay starting in Gonzales and ending at the San Jacinto Monument on the east side of Houston. The total distance is a little over 200 miles.
We have 12 people on our team, so we each have 3-4 legs to run. Each person will run a total of 16-19 miles. I only have 3 legs, but they are all between 5.5 - 6.5 miles each. My first leg, starting at the Shiner Brewery, will be sometime Saturday afternoon. Leg 2 for me should start around 10:45PM Saturday night. My 3rd leg should be around sunrise Sunday morning.
This should be a new and fun running experience. The website lists our team as one of six that could be competing for first place. The teams start in 2 minute intervals in reverse order of predicted finish. We'll be the third to last team off starting at 2:02 Saturday afternoon.
Through the magic of the iPhone, I will try to post updates here as we go.

huh...huh...you talked about your 3rd leg.
GAAAAHHHH!
Aaahhhh!!! Sadie I can't believe you said that! That sounds like a really cool race. I guess that's the Texas history teacher in me.
If they don't win, let him know they're not welcome back to the ATX. Just sayin'
