Ragnar 2012

Last year, I trained hard to run in the Ragnar Relay Race and had a great time so I knew I would want to do it again!  I love challenging myself and decided to take a harder leg this year: 5.4, 4.5, and 6.7 mile legs. This year, my good friend Stephanie Becker decided to join the team so even though Lori left me and made her own west hills team I still had a training partner :)  This was the first time Stephanie had ever run in anything and it was fun to train with her, encouraging her along the way.   My favorite part of any of my legs was when I was running on some backroads in the country and got to watch the sun rise.....breathtaking!  My worst moment was my night run, which was somewhat down hill and I was afraid I was going to fall on my face.  I tried to keep up with this guy who was covered in Christmas lights because I could see the road better but he was too fast.  Overall, it was another great year and I've already signed up for 2013!
