I'm running a 9.2 mile leg of a relay race between our office buildings today.
I am one of 24 runners and 6 walkers participating in a relay between two of our office buildings (9.2 miles) today to raise money for World Hunger. This relay takes us:
– South on Poplar Level Rd
- Crossing at Jefferson Ave
- Crossing Fern Valley Rd
- Crossing Outer Loop
- Down Preston Hwy
- Across the Gene Snyder interchange and down the I-265 Northbound exit ramp area to South Preston Hwy.
I’ve run some crazy routes in my marathon training, but the shoulder between the exit ramp and Preston Hwy is pretty dicey. Help me make this risk worthwhile.
Update:
We won our relay (4 x 9.2 miles) by two minutes.

- This year's World Hunger Relief relay will be a 2 x 12 hour treadmill relay ...instead of a death-defying run back-and-forth between our two campuses (9.2 miles). Bummer. In fairness, the only death-defying parts of the run were the crossings (at between 9am and 3pm) of Poplar Level Rd @ Jefferson, Fern Valley Rd @ Jefferson, Outer Loop in front of Jefferson Mall, Preston Hwy......
- Overcoming excuses to run outside (22-miler in 3:33:29) #twit2fit #running I've been mostly "treadmill-bound" for the last several weeks. Part of it is due to schedule conflicts--it's hard to run outside when your only options are in the middle of the night and before the sun is up in the morning, especially when you have kids to watch. However, part......
