Ragnar SoCal 2012

I'm doing my second Ragnar SoCal on Friday. Why...I don't know.  Sometimes I think I'm crazy & have a death wish. I'm in Van #1 runner #5. I wish I was runner #4 or #6, those miles would be waaaaay better for me waaaah waaaah. When I picked runner 5 it did NOT have a 7.5 mile distance but Ragnar likes to change the routes around so if you ever do a Ragnar just keep that in mind when picking your route. Plus it will be a great experiment to do a race being 30lbs over weight #Sarcasm #KillMeNow.

On the upside it will be a fun group of ladies and I'm looking forward to meeting all those cool chicas on our team! Plus not to mention two days off of work & cooking! Whoo whoo!

Soarin' Thru SoCal

Guess what?! I'm doing a Ragnar Relay! It's in Southern California April 15th & 16th. I'm very excited about this! I was able to join my friend Leah's team when they had a couple people drop out. Our team name is Soarin' thru SoCal...is that cute or what?!

Basically, I'm on a team of 12 people. We are running 200 miles divided between us over a 24hr period. For my part, I'm running a total of 12.6 miles broken up into 3 legs. I'm runner #11, here are my legs: Leg #11 - 6.0 miles (hard), Leg #23 - 2.4 miles (easy), Leg #35 - 4.2 miles (moderate). Here's a little description of the course:

Starting south of Los Angeles in beautiful Huntington Beach your team of 12 runners will head south down the pacific coast. Along the way you will pass through Anaheim, Carlsbad, Del Mar and La Jolla. The race (and your stamina) will wrap up near San Diego on beautiful Coronado Island.

It sounded so beautiful how could I pass it up?! Plus, it's a great way to celebrate turning 40.
