River to River Relay

On Saturday, our team (PRC - Panther Running Club), finished the 80 mile relay called the River to River Relay Race. We had a lot of fun AND we finished! Everyone did a great job and I am very proud of each of us. We did the race in 11 hours, 51 minutes, starting at 7:15am and finishing at 7:06pm. It was a very tiring weekend with not a lot of sleep, but we have had cooperative kids the past few nights and have been able to catch up, a little bit, on our sleep. Below are the pictures from our day. All of us either went to Drury together or are married/dating a Drury Alum, so that's pretty neat!
