I ran the Ragnar Relay last Friday & Saturday with my Dad. I actually did it!! I've been training super hard. I've been running almost every day and then doing long runs with my Dad every Saturday to prepare. We had a team of 12 runners, and started at 2:00 pm Friday. It was a relay from Logan to Park City. I was runner #2, Dad was #6. My total mileage was around 13-14 miles. Dad's was closer to 20. He's a stud. He had some crazy hard legs to run. My first run was at 3:30 pm, 2nd was 12:30 am, 3rd 9:30am. I got about 2 hrs of sleep total in those 2 days. AWESOME!! And the rest of the time we were cramped in a suburban with 6 people. It sounds crazy, but it was so much fun. I loved doing this with my Dad. I was so proud of him, especially when he ran his crazy 8+ mile run up hill through a canyon at 4:30 am. Is he seriously 63?!!! I may have been sleep deprived, had tired legs, and lost my voice from cheering so loud, but I had fun and was proud of myself, and that's all that matters. So what's my answer to the question, "will you do it again?"... Probably :)
Our team in Van 1 "Grit & Determination"

I did it, and boy am I tired.
Me with my cheerleader and water boy.
Me and Dr. Jared. He's a dentist at my office, that ran with us. He's awesome, and crazy fast!
Our cheerleaders when Dad ran through Heber. (It was Camille's b-day this day, so it was extra fun to see her there. Megan ran the last little bit with Dad until he made it to the exchange point. It was super cute).
Love you Dad. What a memory.
