1. My first race was a 5k in Greendale in 2004 called the Root River Run. I still have the tshirt! I remember just wanting to run the whole thing… but I had to walk about halfway through. . . . → Read More: Meet the Relay Team: Avoid the Lap

By Anne, on January 24th, 2011 As the Indoor Marathon relay teams began to pack into the Pettit Center on Saturday, I suddenly became a person who hugs everyone.

I saw so many familiar faces, so many smiles, so much excitement! I could tell the energy was good, if bit nervous.
