26.2

So I just signed up for my first FULL Marathon!! I am excited but to be honest the thought of 26.2 miles is Super Intimidating! I am running the Huntsville Marathon It is the very first one and my very first full marathon. It should be a good starter marathon because it loses about 4000 feet in elevation and I LOVE downhill. I have actually already signed up for my second full too, the Rock n Roll Marathon in Las Vegas... so hopefully I love this one or at least finish :) 

I am currently on week 5 of the Marathon Rookie Training plan. It is a 16 week plan that seem pretty easy to follow. I love this site. It has tons of great information for beginners. My goal for this first is just to finish. But I would love to finish in under 4 hours. We will see how it goes...

Love this!!

Spartan Beast & Kiss Me dirty

Travis ran the Spartan Beast at Midway in Utah on June 30th. 

Spartan is a 13 Mile race through mud and obstacles.

On the same day our daughters ran in the Kiss Me Dirty 5k in Ogden, Utah.

Good Job Girls!!

Ragnar Relay - Wasatch Back

Travis and I really wanted to run the Ragnar Relay Wasatch Back this year but it was sold out! So we ended up getting on a random team we found on the internet.  If you don't know, Ragnar is a 200 mile relay race that is run by 12 people each running 3 different lags.. The Wasatch Back one is in Utah and it travels from Logan to Park City.

This is part of our team of strangers. Last minute one of our team mates got sick and one of our friends Jodi (in the blue and hat) ended up filling in. 

 We were in Van 2 so we started in Ogden Valley.

 Random Ragnar guy.

 I missed the pic of the dude from the front ;)

Where we attempted to get some sleep, didn't happen!

Although, I would not get on a random team again, overall, Ragnar was a great experience! We are already signed up for an Ultra team (only 6 runners)  in Colorado in September, Las Vegas Ragnar in November and Wasatch Back next year. Can't wait!!

The Dirty Dash

The Dirty Dash was So Fun!! It is a 5 mile run through Mud and obstacles! Our team was the Pork Stars! We made a logo and some cute shirts and we won a prize for our awesome shirts!  

Our dirty family!

Just a little muddy.
