Northwest Passage Ragnar Relay

Okay...it's only been about seven months since i blogged and here is the reason...THIS RACE!!!we literally took about 700 pictures (well, molly did) not to mention the other loads of pictures from this summer that collected onto my camera, i became so overwhelmed that i just couldn't find the time to get caught up. Well it's January, the month good for nothing except to make new year's resolutions and get caught up with projects, so, i thought i should tackle this one!!! I sort of have a love/hate relationship with blogging! I don't know how some people do it, daily...or even weekly for that matter. It requires me to be neglectful to either my kids or my hubs but i since i don't regularly (ever) print out/frame pictures, this is my journal/scrapbook/photo album:)Soooo, time to get caught up...let the neglect begin!

This race was truly the highlight of my summer! My best friends from college and my sister molly came out to Seattle to run with me in the Northwest Passage Ragnar Relay...we were team Ragnar Schmagnar, basically noone messed with us:) This course was BEEE-AUTIFUL!!! We couldn't stop taking pictures...every where we turned there was another picturesque photo op:) and let me just say, there is nothing like spending 24 hrs with your best girlfriends running, laughing, dancing, stinking, sweating, not-sleeping, and deliriously finishing a 200-ish mile race!

right before the start!!! the guy who took this picture seriously struggled...first off he took about 50 pictures, he must have just held the button down, but this was the best one, meaning our heads were all in the pic and noone was cut-out of the picture from the side....honestly, how hard is it???
