I really am running...
...but this job keeps getting in the way! Ugh...stupid job-overrated! Soooo...I've only run once so far this week, but am hoping to run with the Miller's/Cameron's this weekend. Bear with me, I'm so slow! Hopefully we can talk a lot about the race this weekend when we're all together at the Millers' house so I am more "in the know" and can contribute more. You guys are all awesome and I'm totally looking forward to this (even though I don't know everyone)! I'm sure it will be SO much fun and I can't wait!

Weather looks Great!
So the weather forecast for next friday and saturday in Logan and Park City looks to be perfect! Highs in the low 80's overnight lows in the 50's! Light wind, UV index very high! So it looks like we should be able to run a great race in the sun and get sunburned! anyway one week! See you all soon!

Ryan is Back!
Hey everyone as you all saw a few posts ago, Hayley hurt her ankle/foot. She has humbly bowed out of the race and the vacancy will be filled with our old running teammate, Ryan Cameron! We are very sad to see Hayley hurt and not running with us this year, but her and Erin will be following us throughout the race to take some very nice pictures which will make all of us happy! So thank you Hayley and Erin for your willingness to be our photographers and welcome back Ryan!
Only 10 days till start time! Have a safe, happy week! We are very excited to meet everyone next thursday night!

Well I put in an 11 mile run tonight. Wasn't exactly a blistering pace ( certainly not Aarons pace ) but it felt good just to be able to put that kind of time in. Will try to go long again on Thurs. and see how that goes. Hope everyone is taking advantage of the last real week to get ready. Next week we should probably only run 2 or 3 times max. with just a light run on wed. and nothing on thurs. Need to start getting some extra sleep and some good nutrition in. Sunday everyone should start drinking a little extra water. We need to be well hydrated before the run. Remember at altitude we will dehydrate much faster so we want to be prepared for that. It will also keep us from getting so sore. Well thats all for now. Have fun this week.

It's getting closer!
Hello everyone! Hope we all are doing well. I hate to admit it, but I only went running twice this past week, well three time if you count Monday. My goal though before the race was to run at least my longest leg...and I did it last night, 7 miles. It was almost like Adam and I were both practicing and preparing for the race. He drove along with me the whole way--thanks to him, even after a 12 hour work day!!! I got to have the boys and him cheer for me along the way and I also got some coaching. It felt really good to do it and finish strong. It even had some hills, which kicked my bum. Well I'm getting more and more excited each day. I am hopefully going to get in a couple more longer runs before the race. Hope everyone is doing good and keep up the great work!!

Headphones Are Back In!!!
I just got an email from Ragnar saying that due to the overwhelming negative response to the no headphone rule... they are canceling that decision, and headphones WILL be allowed on the course.

New Ragnar Info and items of business
Hey team some bubble bursting info (for some at least)...
Ragnar has just informed me that according to USATF regulations (they are USATF sanctioned) the use of headphones is not permitted in a running event. So that means that no-one can use an ipod and headphones when they run. They also said that they will have event marshals throughout the course that will report team numbers for violators and any team that accumulates 3 violations will be removed from the course. So i guess we better start getting some runs in without the ipod.
Personally i think its dumb. The 2 deaths that they have had were not headphone related, but none the less they are making the rules, and we have to follow them.
Also they are making the new rule that a team must check in with not just 2 vests and 2 headlamps anymore, but 12 vests, 6 headlamps, and 4 butt lights. So let me know what you have! Megan and i have 8 vests and a butt light, we can get more if we need them, but before we do that i want to know who has what... so please let me know ASAP.
Another Also... We have to have a team safety meeting before we can get on the course, and they said that we should arrive at least 1 hour early to make sure we can start on time, that means that we need to be at the starting line probably around 9:00 am. Anyway i will attach the emails that they sent me so if you want more information you can get it.

Tough Luck!
Bad News Everyone...
Hayley geared up yesterday to go for a nice off-road run, but just a few miles into the run felt a sharp pain in her left foot. She hobbled home and once we were able to get her shoe off, noticed some pretty heavy swelling. Looks as though she may be dealing with a small stress fracture. At this point I'm keeping my mouth shut, because I know she'll probably throw something in the direction of my head if I even slightly mention the thought that she may not be in any condition to run with us in two weeks, but I need to get that thought out there to everyone. Right now, we are rotating the ice and heat very heavily, with lots of rest, light messages and ibuprofen. We are going to test it out a little this weekend and see where we are at.
In the meantime, we are trying to locate a long-time family friend in Utah that may be able to step in last minute if Hayley is not ready. He's a close friend of Eric and I from NJ that would do very well if we needed him to step in. I'm trying to locate his contact info, but may have to wait to talk it over with Eric when he gets back from England next week.
Hayley is very upset right now, so please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. If she ends up feeling somewhat better by next week, I think she'd still like to plan on riding in the Vans with us and walk or jog a few sections of her assigned legs, hoping that between the rest of us, we could step in if she needed to rest the foot. Otherwise, if it's too risky, we'll need to have a substitute ready to go. Running is a huge part of her life, and she's not ready to throw in the towel. Stubborn Italian Women!!

Shirts
Hey I think the shirt design looks great and I vote for long sleeves T's. It was nice to get out and run this weekend as a fam. It kind of felt like a prelim for the run in a couple of weeks. Lets make sure that everyone is out there putting in the miles for the next few weeks. We need to make contact with those who havent been posting on the blog to make sure they are up to speed on what is going on. We need to make sure we tie up those loose ends so we all have a great time. Happy running all,

What a great weekend
Well I had a great weekend and hope everyone else did as well. And got a lot of running in!!! It was great that the Steve Millers were able to come to Twin and also Meg and Aaron and we were all able to meet up. So we definitely got some running in. We all headed out Saturday morning for a great 4 1/2-5 mile run. Saturday night Megan, Aaron and I got in about a 3 1/2 mile run. Took a break on Sunday then we all got in a longer run on Monday morning. I think Megan and I did 6 miles and I don't even know what Aaron did, something like 8.6??? And he went down and up the canyon!!! CRAZY!!!!! Well anyways,I think it got us all a little pumped and hope we can all keep it up. I hope everyone else is doing great and getting pumped as well!! Less than 3 weeks!! Lets GO!!!! Woot woot!!
