Well he did it! Dan had a bout of craziness and agreed to run a company team for the Ragnar Relay, The Wasatch Back. It's a 24 race that starts in Logan goes down to Heber than back up to Park City. He has been training for it since October, but was still slightly intimidated. Th team had to leave at 6:45 Friday morning to get there in time to get signed up and ready to run at about 10:15 a.m. Each runner had 3 different legs to run through out the race. Dan's first was 7.4 miles all up hill on a dirt road at 1:42 p.m. Second leg was 4.2 miles at 10:00 p.m. and the last one was at about 9:00 a.m. for 3 miles. Both the second and third run were more moderate/mild with not to much up hill or down hill. He had a great time and only slept about 15 minutes the entire time. He came home on Saturday around 5:30, ate dinner, and then crashed into bed at about 6:30 and slept until 9:00 the next morning. We were able to go up to Heber to see him run his last leg. It was so fun. Christian kept yelling out the window, "You're doing great Dad!" "You're Awesome!" "Your the Man, Dad!" It was super cute and just what he needed to push through the last day. What a champ. Dan said that his motto was "To stop running as soon as possible" He really isn't a fan of running, but enjoyed the team aspect of the race. It was fun to have this going on during Father's Day weekend, we are so glad to have such a great husband and Dad in our lives. Love you Babe!

Ready, Set, Go!!!
Going in for the kills. The runners say you killed someone when you pass them. Lots of runners keep track of how many kills each runner got on the windows of the truck or van they are in.
Babe, you are so awesome! Love you :)
