Ragnar Relay - Just Might Be the Death of Me

What have I done?  Oh my H -E - Double Hockey Sticks!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night I got a call from a good friend who is running in the Ragnar Relay in 2 weeks.  Apparently one of their team members is injured and so they need someone to substitute. Why oh why do I get myself into these things?  Yes - I got suckered in and said yes.  How bad can it be right?  This morning I got some more info as to what I am expected to do.  AAAAAHHHHHHH!  (I'm just freaking out a little - just a little!!!!!!!

I will be running 3 legs of the race in a 24 hour period.  Here's the description I got.

Runner #10 (me) - 1st leg - 7 miles / very hard

2nd leg- 6.2 miles / hard

3rd leg - 3.1 miles / easy

Here are some of my concerns....

1. I can only run about 6 miles, or at least that's all I have been running, on very flat ground.
2. What does very hard mean?
3. What they heck is my poor body going to be feeling like when I am done?

Deep breath.  I can do this - right?

Missionary Cookies

Here's are some cookies I made for a departing mormon missionary.  Good luck Elder Brooks!

Hold the sugar

Happy birthday to me!   Funny - I really don't feel like cake.  Why is that?

Big OOPS!

I am so embarrassed.  How did I miss it?  My Cranberry Go-Bars that I posted recently has a typo. I left out the honey.  I have corrected it and if you already made them and they didn't taste good - you have me to blame.  Try again and I promise they will be better the next time.  My bad.  I promise to check and double check next time I post a recipe.

Good Days Remembered

Our good friend Todd just found me on facebook and posted a bunch of pictures of he and Jeff when we were river guides back in the early 90's. (Eeek that makes me sound old).   These pictures were too much fun that I had to post them as well.   If you look hard you might see me in a couple.  Wasn't Jeff such a cutie?  (In a hairy smelly sort of way)









Now days Jeff isn't quite so hairy and he smells better than he did back then - but man oh man - I still LOVE him!  

P90-Crazy!

That's right.  Today is day #1.   89 more days to go for that ripped body.  Jeff and I are starting P90X.  Wish me luck.  Sorry - there will be no before and after pictures - just not my style.

Time out!

Say it isn't so.  The Cards really didn't lose the Super Bowl right?  It was just a bad dream.  Sigh.............  For now, I will tuck my really cute Cards t-shirt away until they make it to the Super Bowl again someday.  Hopefully we don't have to wait as long next time.   "Sniff sniff".  At least it was a good game.  "Sniff"......"sniff".
