Wasatch Back

On June 20 I was a volunteer for the Wasatch Back. I was going to run it this year with Cameron's Aunt Jonene but when I found out I was pregnant I had to drop out. Luckily I was still able to be a big part of the race by helping out Jonene's team, "The Gutsy Girls". I was did a lot of admin stuff for them and made sure things were in order before the race. For those of you who don't know what the Wasatch Back is I explain a bit. It is a 178 mile race that you run with 11 other runners. You each take a total of 3 legs with each leg ranging from 3-8 miles. The terrain ranges from flat city running to steep runs up to elevations as high as 9,000 feet above sea level. This race is ran non-stop for more than 24 hours so there is a chance that you could be running in the early morning hours. For those of you that are familiar with Utah, the race starts in Logan and ends in Park City. It was a blast to be a volunteer even though I got a bit sunburn (that just comes with the territory). I hope to get back into shape after our baby and run it next year. Just to share with you some of the excitement I've posted a link for a video that shows some highlights of the run. Click HERE
