From Wickenburg to Mesa!! 202 miles!





Ok, so I havent had any time to update, due to my oh so hectic life! I have to go all the way back to feb...At the end of Feb. a group of friends and I attempted to run a relay called the ragnar relay race(Las Chicas Locas!)...from wickenburg to mesa in a matter of 2 days, this is definitely an experience that I will NeVeR forget! The way that it is ran is by getting together a team of 12 girls, splitting us up in 2 different vans (6 in each) the first van started the race early that friday morning, each person in that van ran their leg and once there last runner was done the second van (my van! woohoo!) came and picked up where they left off...which gave the other van time to go eat,shower and sleep about 2hours! we did this back and forth 3 times until we completed the 202 miles and ended up in Mesa! It was the cRaZiEsT thing ever! I had a leg at 4pm friday (7.5) and then 2:30am sat morning (7 miles) and then my last one was sat at noon (3.5 miles!) i didnt sleep the entire time, while we were running the surroundings were beautiful, running at dusk and then again at dawn was undescribable! I would do it again in a heartbeat! I had a blast with the girls that I ran with! I love all of them, they have been such an inspiration to me!! by the way we got 2nd in our division!! way to go girls!!! cant wait to do it again next year!
