I'm so excited that I actually have something to blog about. This past weekend I got to participate in the Ragnar Relay series here in Arizona. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a relay race that teams run from Prescott to Tempe Arizona, 204 miles, from Friday through Saturday. And YES you run through the night. Our team consisted of 12 members and we were divided up into 2 cars. Each team member had 3 legs to run consisting of different milage and difficulty. Due to an accident that happened in the middle of the night some of us only ran 2 legs. I was one of them, and that was ok by me. I ran a 6.7 mile leg in 73 minutes (11 min. mile) and a 3.4 mile leg in 33 minutes (a little less than 10 minute mile). I only had a few weeks of training before me knee and ankle were giving me problems so I took 2 weeks off before the race and rested up. I enjoyed the people who were in our car. We may have been a little tight in a jeep, but I had fun. No sleep and running for two days may sound a bit crazy, and maybe it was, but now that I'm all rested up again I can say it was a ton of FUN!! Warning these aren' t the most flattering pictures of me. Oh well.
