The Ragnar and Other Exciting Adventures

Hello all!
So on the 19th I ran the Ragnar Wasatch Back. It's a over night relay with 12 people. I think it's supposed to take 24 hours, but it took my team 30:55 or there abouts. We didn't take a camera, but Ryan snapped a few pictures on my phone. Here they are.
This is a picture of me running across the street in Park City. It was the last leg of the race and boy was I tired! It was also pouring really cold rain so I was soaked. I am wearing Ryan's running shorts from High School though (they are lucky).

Align CenterThis is me running up the last hill before the finish line. I am trying to smile, but it's difficult because this is where I see that Ryan, my mom and dad, and some of Ryan's family have showed up to cheer me on and I start to cry. (I'm such a baby sometimes).

Here is a picture of me and my team at the end of the race after they gave us our medals (which they give to everyone I am sure because we came in 45th to last :))
It was a fun race and I'm glad I did it.

Now for some other interesting things: At church on the 21st we were told that on that day at 5:45 if you stood an egg on it's end it would stay up because of the summer solctice or whatever. So we tried it. No one could get it to work for a really long time, but in the end we got two up. It may be just a freaky weird thing, but if anyone can get an egg to stand up like that any day of the week you let me know.
