Texas Independence Relay

This past weekend, March 31-April 1 I participated in a relay along the Texas Independence Trail. We started at 6:42 Saturday morning, and ran as a relay team continuously until Sunday around 2:30. We began outside of Bastrop in Paige, TX and finished at the San Jacinto Monument. The relay was 201.92 miles, and I ran approximately 16 miles throughout the weekend. It was an amazing experience...it was an exhausting experience! Here are some pictures, in absolutely no order!
