We didn't realize what we had signed up for (which is probably a good thing) until we found ourselves running a 10 mile stretch of road between Mirana and I-10 late Friday evening. It was the AZ Odyssey, a charity race that raises funds for domestic violence to support the Tucson Centers for Women and Children and the Avon Foundation. As a relay team of 12 men and women, we covered 195 miles around Tucson, running over 28 hours straight. Comprised of 36 legs, with distances between 3 to 8 miles each, we each ran 3 legs of the race. Unfortunately, we realized after covering 13 to 19 miles each that we really should have been training for a half marathon (at least), but as individual segments we thought 4 to 6 mile runs weren't a big deal. Needless to say, we were exhausted by the end, but thoroughly enjoyed the team atmosphere and the scenic views from ever corner of Tucson. See more photos.
