WASATCH BACK

Kevin and I along with 10 other crazy people completed the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay Race. 12 people on a team run 3 seperate legs of 188 miles from Logan to Park City. Sounds insane doesn't it? Well let me tell you it was the hardest, dumbest, and most brutal thing I have ever done. Will I do it again? Absolutely!

Kevin's first leg was 3.5 miles running along Pineview Dam. Mine was a 3.8 mile steep climb up Snow Basin.


Kevin's second leg was a long dark stretch of 7.7 miles through Wanship. Mine was a gorgeous 7.3 mile view of Rockport Dam in the early morning.

Our third and final leg Yahoo! Kevin ran what is consider one of the hardest legs. It is a 4 mile straight climb up the mountain. It was brutal and he did awesome. What a trooper!


Mine was 7.3 miles descending down the back side of that mountain dropping into Park City. Not only was it a steep descent ( with a few added uphill climbs for fun) , it was pouring rain. The tempature was freezing, the rain was pouring, the wind was howling, and it was lightning as well. I don't think I have ever been that cold in my life. It was so hard but despite all that was against me I made it!




THE FINISH! Team #408 Are We There Yet?

Our entire team did an awesome job. Although I went 41 hours without sleep, endured many miles of running and battled a rough storm, I had so much fun. We had a great team and all should be proud of what we accomplished. Great job everyone!

Minster women

I drug all my sisters and my mom to the Morgan 5k. It was so fun to be able to do a race together.

Camping

After a long winter we were finally able to take our new trailer out and go camping. We went up to Wasatch State Park. It was great weather and we had a nice weekend camping as a family. Saturday morning I ran a 10K by Bridal Veil Falls. It was absolutely gorgeous. I recommend that trail for any hiker, biker, runner, or walker. The rest of the day we rode bikes, played in the dirt, relaxed, and sat by the fire. It was a great weekend.

Iron Girl Triathlon

I finished my third triathlon Saturday down in Vegas. It was a harder course but I was able to beat my two previous times so I was happy about that. Thanks to all my cheerleaders out there on the course cheering me on. It was a fabulous weekend and the weather was perfect!

Before the race with my neighborhood friends.

Hey, get off my back!

The Finish!

Congrats to my amazing sister who has lost over 40 lbs and trained so hard to do something she never thought possible.

Thanks to my husband who always makes me feel like a winner!

A big shout out to my friend Kim who got me started with these crazy races. She is a great friend who trains with me and pushes me to try harder. She did awesome!

All done. I can breathe now!

Reunite, Run, Recuperate

Friday afternoon I headed down south to Cedar City. I was able to reunite after 12 years with two of my roommates from college. It was great to be able to hang out once again. It was like we had never left. Saturday morning we ran a 10k race at Zion National park. It was a gorgeous run and we had a great time running it together. We even got a medal. After the race Trinity and I went to Las Vegas to eat at the Cheesecake Factory and do a little shopping. Sunday morning I left and went home and now I am recuperating with really sore legs! I had a great weekend with my friends and was happy to have a break from the " mom " role.

Easter

Happy Easter!
