The Relay began around 6:45pm Friday with the "Survivor Lap". The 1st lap of the marathon is always done by just survivors.
I began my relay shortly after 7:00pm. I had a partner and her and I jogged our 1st 5 laps. That made me crampy. But when I slowed down.. my cramps subsided. I took my 1st break around my 25th lap.
After my 1st break.. I went out and did about another 10 laps then took a 2nd break. During that 2nd trip, I had a walking partner who's a good friend of mine. We actually said prayers during our walking. It was kinda cute..
On my 2nd break though.. I became injured
Me and a few friends were playing soccer in the infield and I used my back foot to kick the ball. I think that somehow made me pull something or twist it out of place. A friend of mine let me borrow his knee wrap and I'm still walking with a little bit of a limp, but it feels almost 100 percent.
Around 10:00pm or so.. the principal at my old school scared a lot of people off. He claimed he heard a report that nasty weather was on it's way. IT NEVER CAME. We had 1 squall line that sat on top of us from like 7pm to around 8:30-9, but that didn't stop me.. Me and my friends kept walking.
As Midnight approached.. I actually found a tent I could use. My friends that left thanks to the principals' warning, had also abandoned their tent. So I went ahead and used it..
The overnight hours dragged. But I reached my 80 lap goal around 4:30am this morning..
I probably could have reached it sooner if not for my knee. I had a cheering section so once they knew I was closing in on my 80th lap.. They were pleased..
At around 6:30-7 am the sun arose. I screamed obscenities at the sun because I didnt wanna see it lol.. Between 6:30 am and the finish I would do 10 more laps for a total of 90. My walking partner who actually left 2 hours early did 86.
Despite my knee issue and my occasional tears because of it and my stresses, I would say I had a fun evening

I'm going to try to go back to sleep or at least rest my knee a little more. At this rate.. I'll be up for the day @ Midnight and then I'll be wired for sound lol
