I'll be "walkin' around in circles" with the Yuma FFA and Yuma Jaycees teams. Again. Even plan on doing my 1 mile (4 laps) jog-run sometime between 1:00 and 2:00 AM (sometime after the 1AM 5-card, 5-lap "poker run"); which is the best time for that, as most of the "social walkers" have gone to bed. Might even do it once with each team. With the track "light"; I can stretch out my stride without having to worry about checking up for somebody who suddenly decides to stop and talk about 3 feet in front of me. EDIT: NO! it doesn't take me the whole hour; that's just my favorite "window", based on track conditions and traffic and when I'm ready to take a snooze afterwards. One year about a dozen of us (some Marines, two Corpsman, three Sherrif's Deputies and myself) got together while warming up and left the line at exactly 0122.00, according to one Marine's "Atomic" wristwatch. We finished the mile at 0127:44 We barely broke a sweat. Afterwards, I downed a Gatorade, ate two jelly donuts and slept 'til 4:10 AM!
Both of my kids do the Relay For Life every year, although for them it probably has less to do with their altruistic nature and more about the fact that they get to hang out with all of their friends overnight at the high school Good luck! --Linda
Whatever their reasons......at least they're out there! I get to do the "Survivor's Lap"! Too bad they cut it short, but I do a plethora of others throughout!
