Show Girls for Red Rock Relay!?!?

Remember the RED ROCK RELAY I posted about earlier?  

It's a relay race similar to the Wasatch Back, 180 miles roughly from BrianHead ski resort to St. George via Bryce Canyon and Zion's.  Gorgeous, obviously!  

So anyway... our great friend is putting it on. He's willing to give us all FREE running shirts (nice, polyester, technical shirts) if we'll wear them during the Wasatch Back to advertise for the Red Rock Relay. They will be there promoting the race as well.  I figured getting sweaty during three legs we're not all going to be wearing the same outfit each time.  I thought if we all could just wear the shirt for at least one leg that would be great.  

This is what they look like: 

The sizes are men's sizes and they have some youth large.  I am wearing a men's small in this picture.

So... what do you all think?  Do you want to be a part of the inaugural year of the sweetest relay race ever?!?

Group Run?

Hey I was thinking we should do a group run tomorrow morning. If you are interested let me know?

Kari Evans

Hey Girls, I am the new comer. I live in AZ and will be moving to UT in just a few weeks. I am excited to meet you and run with you!!! I think hills will be a challanging concidering AZ is so flat, but I am ready. I am most worried about the weather. AZ has been in the 100 degrees for a few weeks now. I just might freeze, I guess that is not the thing I should be the most worried about.

Frightening Realization!!!

I just came to the realization that I am currently training at sea level and will continue to do so until the race. I will then have to come back to Utah and run at 6,000 feet! I AM GOING TO DIE!!!! Why did you have to remind me of this Sara? You should seriously all pray for me!

P.S. Megan (great name by the way), I sent your money yesterday. It should arrive soon!

OFFICIAL START TIME!!!

**7:40 a.m.**

Rise and Shine! That is our official race start time!! It's a little earlier then I wanted!!! YIKES!!!

*Jared's is like at 12:45 p.m.*--That tells you their team is CRAZY fast!!
---I told him to watch out for our GIRL POWER!! Oh ya!!!

Hills Yesterday

Whitney had to push me through our hill run yesterday! I struggled so much during that run and was so tired after, I was pretty discouraged! I was thinking... How am I going to be able to do this relay race? How am I going to be able to run the St. George Marathon in October? (YEAH!!! My husband and I got in!) I need to lose some weight!! 

Those were my thoughts last night.  But that quote from Angie picked me up today! I can do it, no matter how S - L - O - W I go!  And, that run was hard, but I finished--so that's picking me up too!

Thanks Whit and Ang! :)

And Thanks Sara for your shirt money!

KEEP UP ALL THE HARD WORK RUNNING LADIES! :)

Shirts

Thank you Angie and Heidi for your money!

I also need everyone's shirt size.  

Thanks :)

Damn my IT Bands

I am seriously so bummed . . . I have to give up my spot on the team. I am having some trouble with my IT Bands.
I wish you all the best of luck for happy & healthy legs!
Wish me luck with my rehab & hopefully I can get the problem fixed for next year!
I really do love to run, especially for FOOD!

TEAM SHIRTS

THIS POST HAS BEEN EDITED. PLEASE READ AGAIN. :)

We've decided to get this as our team shirt.  

We are going to look pretty professional--and cute, all matchy-matchy!

We need to prepay for these shirts.  

I need everyone's money by Friday, May 15!

You can mail me a check or pay through PayPal.

I sent an email with details of how to do both.  

Thanks ladies!

P.S. Anyone want to give color ideas? The shirt is a silver/grey.  Let's do two colors for the wording probably.  We can have the words outlined in a different color and different colors for front and back, etc.  I love this silver/grey color but if we want black or something else that's fine too!
