A group of my close friends and family members are running the Ragnar Relay in 10 days. What in the world is a Ragnar?
A 181 mile relay over the course of 36 hours. Why in the world would a person do such a thing? I found this statement in the Deseret news that 100% sums up the reason I am doing this:
"As I came up the last hill to the finish line, I saw my teammates standing there cheering for stumbling, slow me, and I was filled with the kind of joy that is impossible to describe.
I am barely an athlete. My greatest competitions are with myself and usually over whether or not I will train today. But for 36 hours, I am saturated with shattering my own limits and watching others do the same.
This is a race that connects you with what is best in yourself, and toughest in those who pretend you don't stink as they settle in beside you for a short power nap!"

Jeremy Barlow told me it was a really hot time of the year to run that race.
Good luck, sorry I'm not going to be there!
