RAGNARdly, dude!!

Sam and I got roped into joining the Campsaver.com family and friends Ragnar Relay team. Sam has not run...ever...in his life and I haven't run since...before Savy was born. It was a good motivator to get running, get active, get healthy...and the reward was fantabulous!! 2 days of running, through some of the prettiest landscapes in Utah, surrounded by fantastic weather, with the most supportive, funny, good-natured people around. I started us off in Logan, and 188 miles later, I crossed the finish line in Park City with the rest of our crew. (I only ran 21 of those 188 miles!!). Aside from the lack of sleep, the aching bodies, and the stench that comes from running hard with no showers...it was a great experience. And even with those things, I'm ready to do it again.


Don't I look great? I just started running...hence the smile on my face! The grimaces came later (and when there wasn't a camera around to document them).


Sambo was so excited to get started on his part of the race, he forgot to pin on his bib. But Zak let him borrow his.


Sammy...pulled a funny face or a funny move anytime I pulled out the camera to document. Doesn't he look like he's working hard?


I'm done...


...and so is Sam. Now the only thing we had left to do...was pig out on Dairy Keen!!! (And drag our achy bodies across the finish line). It was a great way to spend 30 hours!!
