Ragnar yet again.

Ok so i've mentioned it on here before but as a family we're running ragnar on June 15-16th this summer.  So we had an imprompto meeting on sunday and figured out which legs we were going to run.  I was a little dissapointed because i had like a 3m, 5m and another 3m.  that weren't very hard.  But i figured ok i'll be able to do great times i was going shoot for 9 min mile average over them all.  So kurtis and his uncle matt where getting everyone the info on there legs on monday when we found out that last year the race was 10 miles shorter due to snow and construction so this year its not 192.5 miles is 202.5 miles so now i'm running leg 8 and kurtis is running leg 9 i'm running a total of 15 miles i think it is and running a 3m, 7. something mile and a 5 mile i think it is.  So now definatly need to train hard.  i'm still going to try for a 9 min pace cuz i'm running right now at a 10 min but its only a mile and half.  So as the time increases i'm going to keep it where it is and then gradually get quicker.  anyway getting excited. yeah isn't that INSANE getting excited to go basically do a half marathon.  it will be way fun though for those of you who don't know what ragnar is you should totally check out there website they have races all over the country and they are really hard to get into basically you have to know someone who's been in it before to get in.  anyway here is the site.  People do all sorts of crazy things as teams i've seen people running in  inflatable sumo costumes, with surfboards, with cross country ski's, in lord of the rings costumes, all sorts of stuff.  check it out...
