weekend fun




So this last week found us in Las Vegas doing the Las Vegas Ragnar. Quite the run I might add. It is a 188 mile 12 man relay team. I must say that we did quite well. I ran it with two of my neighbors and some other friends, our team name was Valley OB (our sponsor was our neighbor and he's an OBGYN). That is why our team motto was "what happens in Vegas we treat in Provo", and yes Scott has quite the sense of humor.


Anyways we started Friday morning and ended 28 hours later Saturday afternoon. My first run was in 91 degree weather and that sure worked my fat butt. The other runs were in the night and early morning and were cake walks compared to Fridays run. I averaged in the high sevens and had an awesome time. What made it fun was all the unique Vegas runners that were there, like guys in speedos running it and gals in thongs and bras, there certainly was a unique flair there.

Heres a picture of dude with the medal, he thinks that he is doing it next year. The other pic is of my toes. Everytime I train for one of these my toe nails fall off... I guess it is quite common but hurts none the less. Anyways well worth it and something I plan on doing again.

ONE TOUGH WOMAN..



ONE OF THE REASONS I MARRIED JILL IS THAT SHE IS ONE TOUGH WOMAN. SHE HAS BEEN IN CROSSFIT FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND RELIGIOUSLY GOES ATLEAST FOUR TIMES A WEEK AND IT REALLY SHOWS.
