Baltimore Running Festival is soon here. Accordingly, I spend a short moment on the track this morning. I'm again desperately trying to get these legs back to work. Track was slightly slippery after rain, and hamstrings gave a notice. Baltimore's event reminded me that it's been awhile since I've been running any type of relay.

In Finland we have one legendary road relay every spring called Karhu-viesti (about 36 miles and seven legs, 33-years old event). Its competitive dimension has been declining at the same pace with the number of competitive Finnish runners, but still it has own comfort for us. Another big thing is the Finnish Team Relay Championships. In this annual event distance runners have two races, 4x800m and 4x1500m. Nowadays I'm only capable for timing other's efforts, but back in the day it was pretty fun race. At least when you were awarded with Championship medal.

Anyway, I'm really waiting for Saturday morning.
