Dean was up in Montana, and I was planning on having a week to catch up after just getting home from Lake Powell. My brother in law Dan called and asked if I could run for him in the Ragnar race, since he had pneuomonia. The Ragnar was to start in about 24 hours from the phone call. Um...sure?
So I drove up to Christensen's house to help get the vans ready for the next days race, and also meet the other people on the team, and have a team dinner.
There was one little catch, I had helped plan a surprise party for my awesome friend Odette. The surprise part of the party was at the exact time of my first leg of the race. Kassidy ran that for me, I attended about a half hour of the party, and then headed up to Eden to meet up with my team.
I have great friends!
And we are off!
Our van was great! We were van 1. Ryan and his wife, Shelby and her boyfriend Bryce, and my nephew Tad and me. Loved running with the people in our van!

My FAVORITE part of Ragnar is the night run! Coolest thing ever, and this year was no exception. Loved it!
After our night runs, we headed to a high school where they had pasta dinner and we could sleep out on the lawn. Not a great nights sleep, but didn't expect to get any sleep anyway.
My last run was hard! 5 miles, most of it was as steep up hill. My awesome nephew Tad had a cold Dr Pepper waiting for me when I finished! If I would have know that, I may have run a little faster. Such a great feeling to be done!
The finish line!
Dan wanted to keep the t-shirt from this race, so naturally, I had to buy me this cute jacket with the Ragnar logo!
