12 Women, 2 Vans, 204 Miles

About a month ago a friend of mine (Kimberly Harper) called me and asked if I would take her place in running the Ragnar Relay. I'm so grateful for that phone call! I had an amazing experience! Go Team B.L.I.N.G (Better Late Instead'a Never Girls)!
My first run, 7.1 miles at a 7:30 minute/mile pace.Hanging out in Skull Valley waiting for our van's turn to run.
Some of my teammates (wish all their faces were showing). We had the coolest shirts and the coolest team!A few girls from a Joseph City team. It was super fun to see some old friends out there on the course!
Something really tragic happened during the race.... A 17 year old boy was hit by a car in the middle of the night (he ended up passing a couple days later). Due to this, the route of our race was changed and some of us didn't get to run our second leg (mine included).

This is me on my last leg, bringing it in to the finish line! ( I pushed it way too hard, I thought I was going to pass out, but I averaged a 7:15 minute/mile pace.)My family was there waiting for me!Brooke & I. It was so fun to run into her out there as well! Maybe next time we can run together!
