Well, I haven't posted anything on this blog since December 20. You
would think I didn't have anything to say. However, the fact is I have
been telling myself over and over again, "You should write about this
on your blog."
I ran a 30K race on December 21st. You'd think that was worth a post wouldn't you? Well, it was.
Life has just been rushing along so quickly, I feel like I can hardly keep up with all the things I have to do.
Lots
of other little things have come up, and maybe I'll write about them
later, but here's the reason I just have to write something today:
As you may know, Insulindependence has an all type 1 diabetics team running in the Ragnar Relay Del Sol
on February 27th and 28th. This is a twelve runner relay covering 194.3
miles from Prescott to Mesa, Arizona, with each runner covering from 10
to 18 miles divided into three sections.
If you're familiar with
multi-day relays like Hood to Coast, Reach the Beach, or one of the
other Ragnar events, this is the same sort of thing.
Well, we've
lost a few runners due to injuries and other commitments, and we need
more type 1 diabetic runners to fill out the team. If you're interested
in this adventure, and you think you could run about 5 miles 3 times
within a period of about 20 hours, please drop me a line at jpnairn at
gmail dot com.
We are not an especially competitive team. We are not
in this to win the event. The main objective is to raise awareness
about diabetes and exercise, and to bring together some like-minded
diabetic athletes... to have a blast.
