The Race is On


Everyone has New Years Resolutions and this year is no different. However 2010 is not only a new year, it's a fresh decade which means it's time to try out new things. This year, Mandy and I have decided to compete in the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay. It's a relay race from Logan to Park City with a team of 12 runners, each running 3 separate legs. From what we hear, everyone who has done it says it's one of the hardest things they've ever done, but we want to challenge ourselves so here goes nothing! We still need a few runners to complete our team, so if you're up to the challenge, we'd love to have you!
Check out details on http://www.ragnarrelay.com/wasatchback/index.php/
It's been about 5 years since I've done any races so I'm nervous but really excited to get back into it. If you hear of any random 5K and 10K races, let Mandy or I know so we can do them!

We're also planning on running the Top of Utah Half Marathon in August...wish us luck!

Anyone have fun New Years Resolutions they'd like to share?

Good luck you two! My neighbor ran that last year and he said it was really tough, but worth it!

Brian says he is up for the challenge--he'd love to join your team!

Really?! That would be so great! We're going to register next week and we would love to have him! Have him give Mandy a call or I'll tell her to call him because she's the one in charge of all the registering. Thanks Robin!

This sounds like a lot of fun! I like the idea of doing a team relay vs. doing a whole marathon on one's lonesome. How many miles do you guys each run?
