Run. Drive. Sleep? Repeat

The Legacy Ranch Runners -- Team #489

188 miles. 30 hours. 12 runners. 9:57 average pace. 3 boys. 9 girls. 2 suburbans. Lots of fun. No sleep. Plenty of granola bars. Did I mention no sleep?

If you haven't heard about the Wasatch Back or Ragnar Relay...that about sums it up. Our team began running in Logan on Friday morning at 8:00 am. We did not stop running until we crossed the finish line at 3:00 pm on Saturday. We ran through the night. We ran through the pouring rain. We ran up Guardsman Pass (ok, I ran up Guardsman Pass). We ran with no sleep. We ran with smiles on our faces.

Ok, sometimes we had smiles on our faces. We also ran in costumes...well, McKay ran in a costume. He was the last runner and we wanted to have costumes at the finish line so he had to run in his. Isn't he cute? We were 70s runners. (He has nice legs doesn't he?) I was careful not to stand next to him.

We actually made it into the Deseret News! Here is a link to the story:

We had so much fun. Who's in for next year?

Nine!

I dug out a wedding photo and scanned it in...special for this blog post...that dates us for sure...no digital photography in 2000...!

McKay and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary yesterday. 9th! Wow. Time flies when you are having fun. We both commented over our delicious dinner at "The Roof" restaurant how we feel that the best years of our life have been the last 9. I can't imagine my life without McKay. We are perfectly matched. I believe in fate. Destiny. True love...and not just because I'm a hopeless romantic. I truly believe there is only one man who can make the butterflies flutter, who can make me rush home at night, who can calm me when I'm stressed, who knows just what to say, who enjoys the things I enjoy, supports me, loves me unconditionally, believes in me, makes me laugh, and is always there for me. I am still in awe that I found the perfect man!

Happy anniversary Honey! Here is to eternity together...this is only the beginning! I love you!
