I'm feeling pretty good about my preparation for the 203 mile Ragar Relay Race this weekend. I have run a few hills and done a few miles - so far everything still works and doesn't ache, throb or cramp. I had a great run with my brother Scott last Saturday in Fountain Hills - we practiced his final leg of the race. Whew! some of those hills were pretty steep. He finished in good form and posted a respectable time. He only started running a few months ago and has been very persistent with his training - I'm proud of you Scott!
Our team is called "Can somebody please...CALL ME A CAB!"I have been staying up way to late and obsessing over the decorations for our vans - but they will look awesome! (don't get me started on my costume) I made some flashing lights and speaker mounts. One of the other team members came up with the logo and lettering - we will have a cape for the van too. Here's an artists conception of what it might look like...
I appreciate my family supporting me in this, especially my fabulous wife. I know I keep my insanity under control most of the time, but every once in a while I get carried away, this is definitely one of those times. She is a really good sport and will be volunteering at exchange 23 as one of the race officials. Come out and cheer us on!

You getting carried away with this is the only way I'd have it! Thanks for taking it easy on me on Saturday :) I know I can do it on 2 days rest, not sure about little to no rest. I guess we'll see! And I agree, Pam is superduperiffic!
