Anyone want to race?

PICTURE THIS: Beach Bunnies. Movie Premiers. You and 11 of your closest friends running day and night. Starting in the American Riviera, Santa Barbara, your team of 12 runners will embark on a 177 mile adventure-fest. The party in your van will only get better as you leap frog your way down the beautiful Pacific Coast. You’ll feel the ocean-spray as you fly past the star-studded Malibu, Ca and the “South-Swells” of Huntington Beach. The race (and your stamina) will wrap up where the spectacular bluffs meet the crashing waves of Dana Point.
Running three legs during a 24-hour relay race is much easier than you think. Each team member runs three legs, ranging between 3 and 8 miles. This relay race is physically demanding, but legs vary in difficulty, and runners can choose their legs. This unique relay format makes Los Angeles an accessible race for beginners yet challenging enough for the most competitive.
THE TSPOT is putting a team together to make this run in April. Now, I am not much of a runner, but I figure this will help with with my NEW YEARS resolution to start! My wife Carolyn runs 30 miles or more a week already, (she could do this race tomorrow) she has run at least 8 1/2 marathons and a bunch of smaller races to date. She is looking for me to get started, (which I have) so we can run together, yipee, “Hey honey, can you please slow down for me just a bit?”
What are your resolutions for the New Year, and how can the Training Spot help?
Statistics for how much weight Americans tend to gain during the end-of-the-year festivities vary from 1 pound to 10, but it’s undoubtedly a tough time for anyone trying to eat healthfully.
