#117 ~ Ragnar Chicago 2012

I ran the Ragnar Relay from Madison WI to Chicago IL, this weekend, that's 200 miles!

We started running Friday morning, ran through the night and finished up Saturday evening! 

Our team consisted of nine members including myself, made of up family and friends.

Generally teams are made of of twelve but we had three drop out at the last minute, so several of us took an extra leg!

I ran legs 11, 23, 31 & 35.

It was very hot for most of the race and I have to say my favorite was my 3:30 am 7.1 mile leg. It was the coolest of all my legs and it went by very quickly.

It was certainly a great adventure, and although along the way I grumbled I would never do it again, I can hardly wait to sign up for next year :)

Best of all I got to run across the finish line not only with all my amazing teammates but also my incredible wife Pamela! 

She really keeps me inspired! Now if I could just keep up pace with her I would be in business!!!

If you have never done a Relay like this before I must say it is well worth it and the experience will last a lifetime!

Keep on Running!!!!

#116 ~ Sunburst Half Marathon

Had a great run this weekend at the 2012 Sunburst Races.

My lovely wife set a Half Marathon PR, nothing new here she seems to do that all the time!

My niece Tabitha ran her first Half Marathon and we think she's hooked!

Course was beautiful, support was fantastic, finisher medals were sad. I have run this race several times over the years and it seems it has lost a bit of its fun and soul :(

But I was lucky enough to have awesome people with me and when you have that you can run anywhere anytime!!!

#115 ~ Geist Half Marathon & 5K

Had an amazing race at the Geist Half Marathon & 5K today!

The course was spectacular! The temperature was wonderful!

If you have never ran this race I highly suggest participating next year.

While I managed a very nice run, my wife Pamela got a new PR for the Half! Now if I could just keep up with her next time :)

Short Run

Had a enjoyable short run this afternoon, looking forward to this weekends Geist Half Marathon!
