miami to key west ragnar relay: part 2

2012-01-13T10:22:00.000-08:00

these pictures only account for about 1/3 of our time running....hey i got tired.

van 2....ready to start running!

flamingo girls & guy :) minus tanya who was running.

my first leg, 4.2 miles. only 10.8 to go.

miami to key west = 200 miles

passing the bracelet!

some scenery.

see that road behind us....people were running down it because this sign was on the road over.

gina got to run through the speedway! when she finishes we get to rest for a couple hours.

then we ran again in the middle of the night. i didn't take any pictures. 24 hours without any sleep and 8+ mile run made me worthless.

after we finished our night runs, we were able to shower and take an hour nap. best. nap. ever. now we are almost to key west. about 20 or so miles to go! i mostly take pictures of random things because who wants their picture taken at this point.

we finally make it to key west after 36 hours of non stop running! and we are not last!

gasparilla half marathon.

2010-03-02T13:43:00.000-08:00

this weekend i went to tampa to run in my first half marathon!
running with thousands of people was a lot more exciting than the training i did alone.
and even though i was hoping for a time under 2:30 i'm happy with my 2:41.
because this definitely won't be the last one i run in!
