RAGNAR

My dearest sweetheart signed us up for the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay with his uncle and aunt. For those of you who were like me and unfamiliar to what that was, I'll enlighten you. It's a relay race that consists of 12 people, 2 vans of 6, who take turns running from the USU Track and Field to Park City High School, totaling a whopping 191 miles. It was entertaining and I'm glad I can say I participated in it. I had to attempt to get into shape, which was good and needed, but I don't believe I will do it again. I'm not a runner to begin with and I wasn't as prepared as I should have been, so the legs I ran were tough and painful. The rest of the time was enjoyable and it was nice to get away. Good company, good times :)
This was taken when we started. Smiles on our faces:) Not knowing what we got ourselves into

This is quite a view :) I started at the bottom of this-
Action shot-quite the hill
After shot of when I finished my first leg (the previous picture)- No that's not a smile like you'd think, Almost passed out. Nick had to push me into the car

Here's a view of Nick's third leg. This is only about at his half way mark. I ran right after him so I wasn't able to get one of when he finished but you get the idea of how high we were. The top still had plenty of snow.
Here he is running is first leg. He did amazing!! Run baby Run
Getting ready to run his leg

Patiently waiting for our next leg to arrive
Our van, VAN 2 of the ragnar crew "Cirque du Sore legs"-and couldn't have been more true:) This shot was taken right after we all ran through the finish line. We all received a medal which of coarse made it all worth it

You are my hero! I'm so impressed you did RAGNAR! I would have died! Congrats to you and Nick-what an adventure. I hope your legs have started healing.

Miss and love you! Fim-Nim
