1 REALLY SWEET RACE!!
i was a little bit skeptical going into this race. maybe it was because i didnt feel prepared enough. maybe it was that i didn't know what to expect. either way... it ROCKED
loved the girls who ran with us. loved that i had to push myself harder than i ever have before. and LOVED that we finished it. i was the very first runner on our team. kinda intimidating i'm not gonna lie. best part about going first is that i was done first and had pretty much all of Saturday to relax and cheer on our runners. i think i want to do this race every year. we had such a fun car of girls. two of the girls i didn't really know at all and the were absolutely hilarious. i miss them. i ran my three legs 1- 5.1 miles, 2- 8.5 miles, 3- 4.8 miles. yep, thats a lot of miles combined. 18.4 to be exact. i feel like i did a little better than i had expected, (nope, i'm still not as fast as meag). i only ran into a few minor challenges along the way... (note to self: if you are nursing a little baby and exercising and burning a ton of calories.. DRINK TONS OF WATER or you'll get dehydrated while running). other than that and the lack of sleep and sore bodies, it was a BLAST. my parents drove our car and were super fun. i was so grateful my mom was there to help take care of Ave. Trae took Avery to stay at our Ogden house Friday night and they met up with us the next morning. they were both good sports for following us around all day (thanks!!). we were just there to finish the race and have fun while doing it. mission accomplished. but let me tell you, there are some pretty serious runners out there. we ran through some of the most GORGEOUS parts of Utah. i've seriously never seen prettier country. if you think you never want to run this race, at least go drive the course. it wont disappoint. anyways. i loved the wasatch back so much.
so, who wants to run it with me next year?
