Run, Drive, Sleep. Repeat.

This is the man I married!!!!
Let me take a few minutes to tell you about our weekend. Friday morning 6 AM was the start of THC's journey from Logan to Park City. The Wasatch Back is a 188.2 mile running race! Twelve runners take up the pavement and a few trails. There is exhaustion, sleep deprivation, loads of conversations, encouragement and laughter. This was my 3rd Ragnar Relay Race and Mitch Rocked #1!!
I am so proud of his hard work and perseverance! Mitch's first leg was 7 miles! He rocked it Hardcore! When the race was finished he'd totaled 13.2 miles.
(and the best part is he said he'd do it again!!)

This photo is Mitch hard at work during his second leg. It was a 3 mile run and ONE OF THE HARDEST because of the weather! The thermostat read 85 degrees but you have to add hot pavement to the temp. Great job babe!

Mmmmmmmm yummy soft bread and nutella. The in between run snack of champions!

Yes. Mitch ran up this hill. It was definitely work!

We had some amazing views!!

My first run. I still had a lot of energy!

This is Mitch and I after all our legs are done! The two of us totaled 31.7 miles.

This picture is of the big blow up finish line and the infamous Ragnar Relay symbol

And yes.... the wait was this long for the Honey Buckets ALL weekend!

This is Marcus sporting our Team Hardcore running shirts! GO THC!
(also special thanks to Marcus for getting the shirts and for being runner 12 and staying motivated to the end)

Chilling after the race..

WE DID IT!!!
Mitch has informed me that he will continue wearing his medal for the next few months!! :) This was a fantastic experience and we give a special shout out to Team Hardcore for being so awesome! The preparation for WB 2011 starts now! So if you see us out running give us a honk or a wave!
And a very special THANK YOU to my husband Mitch for making me a promise when we were dating and sticking to it even after 'you have me'.
As they say it in the race,
'Couples that run together, stay together!'
Love you babe!
