Rush II

This blog is normally not about me, but I really have something to be proud of. Over the past year now, I have been working very hard to lose my baby weight...3 baby weights to be exact. I have been exercising very consistently and even changed some of my bad eating habits. No more white bread or ice cream for me! I know, weird! But, I have lost 17 pounds now and I can finally see and feel a difference. (you can check the blog for pictures a year ago and see for yourself!) As part of my motivation, I made a goal to someday run at least a half marathon, but a couple of months ago, I got a call from my Aunt Patty that someone had dropped from their Ragnar team and I jumped on the opportunity.

This past weekend was a huge physical and mental accomplishment for me as I ran in the Wasatch Back Relay with 11 other team members in 2 vans. It was amazing. There are a few words that describe the experience I had...

running
no eating
no sleeping
team
encouragement
hills
endurance
running
beautiful
stars
rain
exhaustion
running
188 miles
finish line
accomplishment
pride

Our team, Rush II, finished 85th out of over 400 teams. We did it in 28 hours and 20 minutes. Wish I had more pictures, but I was too tired to take any.

Can't wait until next year!
