Not long after I laced up my shoes & put one foot in front of the other (trying to lose weight) something amazing happened! Running found me. It was exactly what I needed. When I became a runner, I found myself again.
This blog started as a way to communicate my training & fund-raising efforts for my first Ragnar Relay back in Jan 2011. After the relay, it became more than that. Each year that passes it changes & is truly a reflection of my life. I hope you enjoy my ramblings.

Van 1 Done the Ragnar
I finished up our final run of the third leg of the Ragnar Keys race for Van 1 at 230 pm. It was not meant to be as dramatic as it ended up being :). My goal was to finish the 4.1 miles in 45 min and then my team could head the rest of the way south for Key West. I started out pretty good but around mile 1.4 I felt my knee pop and within a tenth of a mile I could feel pain radiating from my kneecap to my ankle. I was, however, determined to finish the leg. My teammates in the support van stopped many times to check on me. I just kept going though...thinking about all the people who believe in me and have donated to the team. I kept going (with bouts of walking) and finished in 50:59 min. Only 6 min over my goal! And then it was time for Van 2 to take over and bring us home to the finish line. Next update will be from Key West after the finish!
