Races!


Florida Keys Travel
One of the (many) bridges we will be running

We haven't updated in a while so I figured it was time to drop a quick line to let everyone know what we've been up to!

Jason recently finished the Las Vegas Ragnar Relay race with some friends which marks the second Ragnar Race he's ran this year.  For those of you unfamiliar with the race, twelve runners run three legs each for a total distance of just under 200 miles!  It's quite the race and takes place over a two day period.  He had so much fun he convinced me to run with him for the Florida Keys race.  Sunshine--here we come!

The race starts out in Miami and finishes in Key West and takes place in January.  We've convinced a bunch of our friends to fly down there with us and run the race.  It is going to be a blast!  It also gives me something to keep me focused on training for my half marathon I'm running in May.
Yep, you read that right.  Becky, aka the anti-runner, is running the Ogden Half Marathon.  I'm way excited!  I will actually be trained up enough to run a half marathon by January (thanks to Ragnar training), so Jason and I might run one before the Ogden race.  I'll keep you updated!  I've been really excited to get into running--it's helped out with my asthma immensely and also has helped me lose almost 30 lbs.  Awwwww yeah!

Anyway, that's about it for us.  We've been really busy with work and training which hasn't left much time for anything else, but it has been good!  I'm excited to be able to run a race with my husband and am really looking forward to it!
