Good morning everyone! I ran a good 7.25 miles this morning.  :o)  I left later than I normally do (because I didn't have to work) and had the sun in my eyes at first.  That's annoying.  But ultimately, it was a nice run.  I'm loving the change in the weather!

Oh how I wish I was there today instead of here!! I hate the sun in my eyes, but it is better than 40 degrees! It is SOOOO cold!!!

Good miles this week!

Wow! What a great run!

From Camille on Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 13:38:21

Thanks!

Kelli - 40 degrees doesn't even sound fun to me. But it's a trade off... we get miserable summers. It's just now starting to cool off.

From Kelli on Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 14:12:35

I could never do the summers there. NEVER!!! My sister lives in Phoenix and I just do not know how she does it!

Hey, we are coming in February to run the Ragnar Del Sol (somewhere in Mesa to somewhere in Phoenix, I think). How will the weather be then?

From Camille on Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 17:04:27

I am also running in the Ragnar! It should be a ton of fun! And we should have nice weather. The first year we had the Ragnar here, the did it the lastweekend of March and it was extremely hot. I'm glad they pushed it forward.

Okay, then, we will have to meet up somewhere. The blog has a super fast team (they won last year) and then there is US. We have 1 fast runner, and the rest of us are in it for fun. My kids will be at my sisters, so we are making a family trip out of it.

Hey, I am van 2. Tell me which legs are easiest!!

From Camille on Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 17:18:41

I've only done it once (I just had Melanie before the race last year), so I've only ever been in van 1. I think I'm in van 2 this year, and I'm thinking runner 8 has it the easiest.

We will definately have to meet up. I think a post Del Sol party is a must. Our team is just doing it for fun. I know there is one guy that is extremely fast, and then everyone else is faster than me. I am definately the slowest person on the team. (I hope they don't vote me out because of that).

From Kelli on Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 17:20:08

I think you HAVE to do this race for fun---otherwise it STINKS!!!! Literally.

What is the Ragnar?

From Camille on Sat, Oct 11, 2008 at 10:03:28

It's a big relay race. 181.7 miles, 12 people, 24 hours. The 12 people drive in 2 vans. Each person has 3 legs of the race varying in miles and difficulty bettween 2 - 8 miles. The race doesn't stop, so you pretty much don't get any sleep.

Here's the link for the Arizona Regnar: http://www.ragnarrelay.com/delsol/index.php
