The 24 hour race is a fundraiser a local church does every year to support the missions in Haiti. It was a 1 mile loop. Participates “raced” as individuals or as part of team and the idea is to do as many or as few loops as you want to or can do. I was lucky enough to be invited to participate as part of a group called “The Gazelles.” The Gazelles are a walking/running group here in memphis. The women are amazing! I made it 32 miles. 4 of the women I walked with won first place in their age groups, two had 40+ miles and the other two had 50+ miles and one of the other women succeeded in making a personal best 31 miles. They all are some amazing women and big time inspirations to me! Most of us ended up with some serious blisters, aches and pains, but it was an awesome experience, despite the blisters
