Ragnar and Hiking

Jared and I ran Ragnar this year. For those of you that don't know what it is it's a relay race from Logan to Park City with 12 people on a team. Each person on the team runs 3 legs and you switch off. This year I was the first runner so I ran legs 1, 13, and 25. My first leg was supposed to be 7 miles but we all went the wrong way so it ended up being about 7 1/2. My second leg was 8.3 miles down old snowbasin road and my last leg was 4.8 miles from Oakley to Kamas. You are running early in the morning and our other van ran during the middle of the night. Jared and I were not on the same team. He was on a team with a girl he works with at the hospital and I replaced a girl that I work with because she was pregnant. It was lonely without Jared but it was fun to text him and tell him what he had to look forward to and to see where he was at. Our team had quite the excitement and ended up in the ER Friday night due to one of our team members being dehydrated. After our van had finished everyone's last legs we drove into Park City and ate some real food and I met up with Cami. We shopped for a bit and then Jared's team had finished up so I went and met him and we went to the finish line together and waited for our teams to come in. Jared's team came in about an hour after my team finished (they started 7 hours after us so they made good time!). It was so awesome and I am looking forward to doing Vegas Ragnar in October!! I didn't get many pictures of the race but here is me starting out my first leg.

Jared and I are Ragnar finishers!!!!

We went walking down by the parkway and it was crazy everything that we saw! We saw a bunch of pheasants, some quail, two snakes, a toad and this little guy! He was one funny looking turtle!

Jared and I decided to go on a hike yesterday. We invited Dallen and took Wigeon! It was nice and sunny and such a pretty hike! We went up to waterfall canyon and had such a good time!

Little Wigeon was such a trooper!! He prob went double the distance of the rest of us because he would run up ahead and then run back. We got to one part that was really steep and rocky so Jared decided he needed to carry him so he didn't fall off. Cute little Wige licked Jared's face the entire time he carried him. He was probably just excited he didn't have to walk. ha ha such a cute pup!

Jared shot a fox the other day. He was so proud but Wigeon didn't know what to think of it..
