Ragnar 2010

M and her friends got this crazy idea to run the Ragnar/Wasatch Back a few weeks ago. So, you know that M loves to run and has done a lot of running in her days, but when she told me she was considering this one, I couldn't believe it.

The Ragnar is a 188 mile race that starts in Logan and runs through the mountains and ends up in Park City. There are 12 people on your team and you take turns running different legs of the race. One of M's legs of the race started at 3:30 in the morning (yep, I was home in bed). She also pulled the finishing leg which took her along the trail in Park City, so we drove up and camped along side of the trail to watch the racers come in.

There were 12 people per team and the race closes after 1,000 teams which meant there were 12,000 crazy people running this race. I don't just mean that they were crazy for running the race...there were fine folks like this guy who ran the race in a wedding dress.

M said that during her 3:30 a.m. run, she looked at the runners in front of her and saw bare butt cheeks in front of her. Really??? Running the Ragnar Naked.

So...once again, M has made us proud by stretching herself to do something new and adventurous! Great job M!

I Need Something To Do...

I haven't had to travel for work the past week. I haven't had any soccer games, running events or after-work meetings. I don't know what to do with myself. I need to be busy, because as you all know, when I'm not busy, I just basically fall asleep.

So... here is what I have been working on this past week to keep myself busy:

This is a pillow that I made to go on our bed.

M has an upcoming baby shower to go to, so we decided that every baby needs a new quilt to cuddle up in.

And a bib to drool on...

And even though it is basically the Fourth of July, these guys are making an early appearance in preparation for Halloween!

I think I need some help!
