I got an unexpected invite to join a Ragnar relay team early Wednesday evening. It was a group of ladies who I am acquainted with through the San Antonio (Off) Roadrunners. We would each run three separate loops at McAllister Park on Saturday morning, totaling 15 miles. The mileage sounded good and it sounded fun. The team was named Virtually Grounded, which is fitting.

And it was! It marked the first time I ran with a group since March. I was nervous about being too slow for them but I ended up not being too far behind, which was a confidence-booster.

By the time we finished, my legs were throbbing but it was a good kind of pain. And I got to add a new type of race to my running resume.
