Ragnar Relay

I'm sure some of you have heard me talk about it, the Ragnar Relay. Well I'm in. It's official...I'm runner number 8! Runner? I know, I'm more like a jogger. But I think with 4.5 months of training I'll be a faster jogger. So anyways my 3 legs of the race are some of the easier ones. My first leg will be 5.8 miles | Moderate, second 4.4 miles | Moderate and third 3.5 miles | Easy. My first two legs look like they're up hill. And the third is all down hill. And yes I got the easier legs. (One runner on our team has to run close to 22 miles)

Here is a better explanation of the race- Saguaro cactus, red rock cliffs, live bands, and biker bars. Your team of 12 maniacs will run around the clock in this springtime relay through the Arizona desert. While this 202-miler runs from Wickenburg to Tempe...

Sounds fun right?!? My team is all girls, and I think I'm the youngest...and yes the older Ladies have the harder routes...but anyways just thought I'd share!

I'll keep you posted on how the running is going. This morning I went out and thought I only did a couple miles, but when I mapped it out it was just over 4 (not gonna lie I did walk a mile of it but I have plenty of time to get there)...
