Red Rock Relay

I have been meaning to post a few pics from the very eventful red rock relay but haven't really gotten around to it.  For those who have never ran a team realy before...it's crazy insane.  Why we runners like to do things like this to ourselves...we will never know.  Living in a van for 2 days with 6 other girls, 12 total (six in another van that you switch off with), no sleep, living in grosse running clothes, eating ppj everything, lucky if you get a shower during the whole event, and running crazy hard legs (3 to be exact) during crazy hours of the night...the list goes on and on!! The girls I did it with were so much fun and I had an awesome time.  I swear everytime I do one of these that I will never do it again..but low and behold, for some reason I give in everytime!

This year has been a fun running year for me. After I had Dru I needed something to get my rear in gear so did the unthinkable and signed up for a full marathon.  Before my full came about, I did the St. George half, then my marathon, the red rock relay (which my legs totaled about 23 miles), and then I just signed up for a fun Haloween Half marathon I'm getting ready to do this weekend.  Needless to say...I am burned out! Im excited for this half to be over and not have to feel like I HAVE to run 10 miles this next Saturday.  It will be nice just running for fun again and maybe getting into a new hobby..who knows! Anyway, thank you for all of you fun girls who made the RRR so much fun, LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Don't worry mom, not a reat tat..our team name was "Moms on the run"..on the run like "out of jail on the run"..so we had some fun tattoos on our arms, ankels, cars windows were decorated like jail bars, etc..kinda fun
