Picture this...

You and 11 of your closest friends (family) running day and night, relay-style, through some of the most scenic terrain North America could muster. Add in live bands, inside jokes and a mild case of sleep deprivation. The result? Some call it a slumber party without sleep, pillows or deodorant. We call it a Ragnar Relay!!!

Have you all started training? Shown below is a training program provided by the Ragnar Peeps. If you have something else that you'd rather use to train, that's totally fine...as long as you're training! Have you all started?!? Gary and I ran 3 miles on Saturday...it felt GREAT!

Also, the purpose of the creation of this blog is for EVERYONE to post and comment...keep us updated on your training! Tell us how far you ran today - excite and motivate the rest of us! Any questions? - write them here!! If you can't find the email where I invited you to be a contributor, let me know and I'll send it again.



One thing you'll notice on this training program is a couple days in the second half where there are actually two or three runs a day! This is a good thing to try a few times during your training because you will be running THREE times in a 24 hour period! (There is also a more advanced training program HERE)

I hope you are all as excited as I am! I can't tell you that this will be the EASIEST thing you've ever done in life, but I can tell you that it will be one of the most memorable acheivements and an AMAZING experience. I have heard nothing but FABULOUS things about this relay run from many friends, family, and co-workers that have participated in the past (and YES, most are doing it again this year!)

Way to go Spencer and Alexa! They've already started their training!

Love,
Tara
