June 19th & 20thme and 11 other crazies
only 187.5 miles.
yeah, i'm well aware.... were INSANE.
somehow i was able to convince 11 of my friends/family to run this race with me. No one on our team has ever ran it before, so i'm not sure we know what were in for. nearly 36 hours of running.
Breakdown: there are 12 runners per team. Each runner runs 3 legs throughout the 36 hours (or however long it takes us). we relay off to each other. We run from Logan to Park City...woof, that seems like a long ways.....it is. We run straight through the day, through the night, and through another day. Our team is "The Young & the Restless"
-my first leg is easy....3.5 miles- flat.
-second leg, not so much...9.6 miles- some rolling hills.
-third leg, ridiculous...3.6 miles- straight up the freakin mountain. I gain 1492 feet in elevation in just this leg. seriously.
i think its time the training gets serious. really really serious.
last night i ran 7 miles, it was hard. and in 5 weeks from now, i have to take that 7 and add almost 3 to it. uh oh.
(**oh yeah, seriously, thanks to those who are joining me on this crazy adventure. i hope you don't hate me when were through.) ...we'll have fun. lots of it.

WOW! way to go! that is so impressive I agree with Paige I wish I had a 10th of your motivation. that will be quite the accomplishment!
Yeah...I am doing it too, with some friends from my home town!!! That is awesome, but I am seriously so excited for it. I hope that you're doing good!! Miss ya! It would be fun to see you at this thing, hopefully I will get to, there are so many runners that are there, but it would be fun:)
ya..i surely hope i survive to even have the option to hate you when it's all done! I'm excited but so so nervous!
I could never do that! You girls are awesome and will do great!
your running 17 miles, sign up for a marathon girl you are already there. Can't wait to see all of you and run a little as a pacer. GOOD LUCK! Maybe I can bike along side of you.
Call me crazy but that actually kind of sounds fun. I'm sure if I was running it I probably wouldn't think that. Good luck.
wow! good luck! that is very impressive...i can't even imagine running one mile right now, so depressing i know :) Good luck, i can't wait to hear how it goes.
love, Rebekah
you go girl!!! i am excited for you and can't wait to hear how it goes!!!!!
Good luck!!!! Some of my coworkers have done it and said it was crazy hard but they had the best time!!!
That is crazy but at the same time pretty awesome! I can't wait to see how it goes, and might have to join your team next year...or the year after :)
Wow! That is insane, but I admire you for being motivated to even attempt this thing. But knowing you, you always excel, so I think you will do great and probably surprise yourself!
