The Other Side of Savannah
Meeting up with Becca (and her husband Jerry), Kelly and Michaela (for 20 seconds) was the next best part about Savannah weekend!
Atlanta Marathon Relay
What more fun than to run 26.2 miles, except you are not actually running it all ! We had 4 teams (that I knew of) from Get Fit who signed up for the relay (4 people with legs of 5.5, 8.4, 5.1, 7.2 – Although the legs didn’t really measure right(!)). It was so much fun, especially waiting in the end to cheer in Edna, one of our yellow peeps who did an amazing first marathon in one of the…

First, I am going start…
