RAGNAR relay race in Washington State!

Ok, I don't know why I do this, but I have done the Ragnar Relay Race for the past three summers. The first one I did was with 3 of my siblings and my neice along with a lot of my friends in Utah, starting from Logan and ending in Park City. It was horrible and I vowed to never do it again there but I LOVED running with people and the feeling I got finishing and hanging the big medal and number on my wall closet along with my medals/numbers from the Lake Tahoe 1/2 marathons. (maybe that is why my closet is smelling?!?!?! The "stinky" numbers!)
We then found out that they have the Ragnar Race in Washington state, running through the puget sound islands. My friend Jen and I flew up and joined my sister and my neice and a 15 year old stranger and ran it last year and had a BLAST! It was sooo fun.

SO, this year, Jen and I recruited 4 other people and my sister Keri recruited 5 other people and we ran it again! BEAUTIFUL-so BREATH TAKING BEAUTIFUL. I think I did my best ever even though I was the least prepared because I didn't put any pressure on myself. I just thought I would do my best and finish and that would be enough. I did 14.5 miles and walked maybe 2.5 in there and loved it.

Here are the pictures...

My elder sister Keri who ROCKED this year! Looking good!

Teammate Jessica leaving at "twilight" hence the dorky head light, vest and ankle reflector they make us wear.

The view at a quaint restaurant we discovered last year. The best burger and garlic fries EVER!

My "team" the HOTFLASHES! You too can join us this next spring, April 24-25. We will be doing the LA Ragnar from Santa Barbara to Dana Point on HWY 101-it will be beautiful! Come join us!

(because two of these ladies said they would never do it again :( -I wonder why? )
