THE WASATCH BACK RELAY.....

...is a l8l mile relay from Logan to Park City. Our 12 man team had a vehicle of 6 men and one of 6 women. It was gorgeous scenery and I didn't sleep for 39 hours. "Run, eat, sleep, Repeat" is the idea....We had a blast and are already planning for next year.

My first run was 7.4 miles up a mountain. It was hard, hot, dusty and lots of fun. I love a challenge!!!

We all ran in the middle of the night. My run was around 2 am. The moon was full and we had Christmas lights on the roof rack of the suburban we were driving which helped the runner keep track of her pit crew.

I'm impressed - with the blog and the run! How many of the 181 miles did YOU have to run? It sounds like it was fun, but exhausting.; July 3, 2008 at 6:58 AM

CHRISTMAS 2008

For those who are unaware of our family Christmas tradition, each year we draw names and make a homemade gift. This little antic outweighs any other activity we do around Christmas time on the "stress meter". It is a very creative and time consuming process, but it is also our favorite. We exchange them before going to bed on Christmas Eve and the laughs and tears are priceless......oh the stories we have told about our creations.... However, I have currently misplaced Barry's so until I track it down, his photo is missing.

We spent Labor Day weekend at the cabin with Kolbi & Tyler & Rial and his kids. Braden and Landon brought the boat over so we were able to spend some time on the lake also. It was beautiful. However, the temperature was in the 80's on Saturday, nice on Sunday, then we left in a snow storm on Monday. Quite an eventful weekend. We did some hiking, four wheeling, and boating.....that's quite a variety of activities. Plus, some pretty intense games of Rook and one other card game that I never really learned the rules of.
