On June 20-21 while we were back in Utah we got to run in the Wasatch Back Relay. It is a relay race which goes from Logan to Park City covering 180 miles or so. Each team had 12 runners on it, so Linzi and I ended up running about 15-16 miles over 3 legs. "Fun" isn't really the word to describe it (getting no real sleep over the two days and having to jump into a van right after completing a 5-7 mile run), but it was incredibly rewarding to have run it. Linzi did amazing, running two really long and hot legs of the race, and doing it at least a minute or so faster per mile than she had planned. The scenery along the way was amazing...running up the road to Snowbasin and looking down into the resevoir below, running in solitude in the middle of the night by the light of the moon, or coming over the mountain between Park City and Heber and getting to look out over the valley on the way down to Park City. It was a great way to start our week of vacation in Utah!!!

you guys are champs!
I am super jealous that you guys did this....i really should have done it with the rest of the family. I was just too lazy to get myself into some sort of running shape to participate. I am glad to see that you had a good time and that everyone survived.
Loves,
Sarah
