Teton Dam 26.2 mile relay race

Last Saturday I ran in the Teton Dam 26.2 mile relay race in Rexburg. Here are my team mates. It was a lucky day to begin with. We got assigned number 11 at our team number. 11 is my favorite number. This in now the third race bib I have with the number 11. It was a really fun race and I definatly would do another relay race. It was just fun. Even though we were not running together at the same time, we were still a team. Not sure yet what the results are yet of the race, but we all did better than we thought we were each expecting. I ran about a 10 minuet mile, running 4 1/2 miles in about 40 minuets.

As I was ending my run, I went to pass of the braclet to the next runner. I slapped it on her wrist (the kind that curl around your wrist). I guess the runners little girl thought I slapped her mommy. And she started to cry. About a 1/2 hour later the little girl asked me "why did you slap my mommy?"

I also entered the Logan Top of Utah Marathon. It is on Sept 20,2008. This relay race got me really excited for the marathon. I have been training for about 2 months now. At first I signed up for the St. George Marathon. I signed up with a team of 4. They let 7,000 runners in the race. Over 10,000 signed up for it this year. It almost made me cry because I love the St. George Marathon. But Logan is a good one also.
