When I met with Jeff Kilarski, Don Muchow and Jim Cadorette at Starbucks a week or so ago to talk about their upcoming relay, I told them I’d been asked to be part of a team years ago. I um…said no.
“Why didn’t you do it?” Jeff asked, and I couldn’t think of an answer to tell him. But now I know: Because I’m not nearly as courageous as they are.
It takes guts to run a relay like this, one that starts at 4 a.m. and requires team members to run three legs, which range in distance from six to nine miles. It’s a logistical choreography involving vans, sleep, water, flashlights, food, equipment and a bunch of people riding around together.
