real distances

So I plugged the GPS coordinates into google maps on my second leg and it says it was 10.3 miles, not 9.6.


It still felt like 12.

Lets go again

I am still flying high from last weekend! I had such a blast! I would have to rate that in the top 10 of my personal experiences. My only regret about the weekend was not getting to spend very much time with van TOUGH (i think that's how they spell 2 in some foreign countries?). I think I may be addicted and will soon be going through withdrawal. I can't wait for Vegas, but after looking at the routes and legs I can already tell that I prefer Wasatch! We have to plan on partying at the finish line next year. It would have been nice to sit down and compare notes and experiences. I definitely want to run van 2 next year. Hopefully my wife will run with me.

CONGRATS

Congratulations to everyone for such an amazing and trying experience. I know that Jeremy was watching over us and probably laughing at times. I thank all of you for your inspiring stories of training and triumphs along with the hardships that we all faced. It is hard to think that it has actually come and gone already, although I am sure that I will know for sure that it is over tomorrow when I try to get out of bed...hahaha. Thanks again for all the memories created and for the closeness we share as a family. I love you all and look forward to seeing as many of you as can make it to the reunion. Hopefully we can keep our parents from killing each other.

Adrenalin

Every time I think about the race I get a little adrenalin rush. I love that feeling! I hope I don't runout of adrenalin before my last leg:) I will probably need it. Can't wait for tomorrow!

Pictures

I need everyone to take lots and lots of pictures. I want to put a slide show together for the beloved George Family Reunion. I will have my camera taking pictures, but I don't want to take pictures while I am running. I would really appreciate it. See you all in 3 days...............3 days..... WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WHOO HOO!!

Well I don't know bout yall, but I'm getting excited for this thing!! Can't wait to see all of you there and be able to share in on one more big hoorah before I leave in September. Run on comrades, RUN ON!!

Braggin on My Sis

Hey, since I don't know if Kimberli will blog about our run, I will!! She was visiting me on Saturday and she said she needed to get a run in. I figured she would only want to go 3 or 4 miles so I told her I would run with her. Jonathan decided to do an 8 miler and he took off. Kimberli and I were discussing how far she was going to go and she said "Well, maybe I should just go 8 miles too!" So off we went. I was sure that we were going to head back early because of her hamstring, but nooooo she decided to do the WHOLE 8 MILES!!!! I was so impressed and in awe! Thanks sis for the tremendous run. I wish you could come with me for all my Ragnar runs!! Can't wait to see you all in Logan soon! Have a great last week before you start tapering. Happy Running!!

Headphones

I hope everyone will be okay to not run with headphones. I have read quite a few facebook posts saying that teams are pulling out because of the rule change. I don't run with music anyway, so it doesn't affect me.
