We were Runnin'

Santa Barbara to Dana Point + Twelve Girls + Running all Day and Night = A BLAST!This is our team " Kin of A Big Deal" at the start in Santa Barbara.

We were in the 2nd Van, so we had about 3 hours to kill in Santa Barbra.  We rented this Surrey to ride around.  To quote Lorraine, " Once you go Surrey, you never go back".

This is my first run through strawberry fields.Two luck ladies got to run down PCH right by the ocean.  Isn't it beautiful!  

Run #2 took place right through LA at 4 am!  We were a little scared, but Joanna and I got to run together and wear headlamps.  We just looked forward and ran and we made it though alive!  

Running through the finish line 
Guess who ran Ragnar,too.... Kelly Kapowski!  We ate dinner in the same restaurant as her team.  It is always weird seeing a famous person do something "normal".


Last, but not least - the van we spent 30 straight hours in.  I only knew one other girl in the van, but I definitely made 5 new friends by the end.

Ragnar was such a GREAT experience!  I will definitely do it again!

That looks awesome! If you went all the way to Dana Point that means you ran through Laguna Beach! You look great. Good job girl friend!

That seems like a ton of fun! How great to run with new friend! That would be cool to do something like that here, except we truly don't have the sights!

My family did this for at a reunion 2 years ago in Washington. (Lynsi probably told you about it). I didn't run but everyone who did loved it.

i was thinking about you last weekend. i am glad the race went so well. i admit, i was a little jealous, but hey, you gave me a chance and i blew it=). it looks like such a fun experience. when should we run again?

I was going to do the Wastach Back until I realized what exactly the time commitment entailed. I decided against it, since Sunny would still only be three months old and obviously nursing exclusively. Maybe next year. On a side note, I just found out you were roommates with Janae Low? She's in my ward here!
