Ragnar ~ Wasatch Back 2012

I ran my first Ragnar {Wasatch Back} this year and loved it! It was such an accomplishment! I used to think all those moms with Ragnar stickers on their car were so annoying but I understand the "sticker" now. After I running that long and hard you bet that sticker was going on my car and I am proud of it! haha We had such a fun team of girls! I thought I was trained really good but those legs through the mountains were pretty hard! I was 8 Weeks pregnant at this time so the morning sickness was in full force and was a little rough...but I survived I guess.  Next year will be so much more fun not sick! I ran a total of 18.3 miles:)

1st Leg - 3.8 Mile Run up hill at about 2 pm in 85 degree weather. This was hard because I always run at 5:30 in the moring when it's 60's or 50's so I definatly was not prepared for the heat but it was a fun run and I got a good time.

2nd Leg - 7.5 Mile about 3:30 in the morning on a freaky rapist dirt trail by a train track. I can't tell you how many prayers I said for Heavenly Father just to keep me alive! There was no moon out so all I had was the light of my head lamp in the pitch dark. First of all I am the BIGGEST PANSY out there so I was terrified the whole time I was going to get kidnapped off the trail but of course I made it out alive! This was the worst run I have ever ran. I threw up 2 times I think because the head lamp made me so dizzy and sick. I was so happy to get this run over with! Longest 7 Miles of my Life!

3rd Leg - 7.0 Mile run down through Deer Valley Resort. It was a very hilly run and again in the heat of the day. I really liked this run it was so pretty and it was my last leg so I was so excited to get done:)

I was not patient enough to put these pictures in order but they are fun to have documented:)
