We Do Hard Things


Minnie, Marisol, Tishia, Jenny and Tiffany

Well, the official training for Ragnar Relay has begun. We bit the bullet Monday morning and trekked out to South Mountain (30 minutes away) in order to run hills. I definitely felt unprepared for the difficulty of it especially pushing Weston in the jogger. However, luckily Tishia offered to speed walk him up the hill so I could finish my last 3 miles of steep grade. It kicked my butt, but I did it. I ran 4 miles straight up hill and then 4 miles down. It just goes to show you can do anything you put your mind to. Gotta love our new running motto "WE DO HARD THINGS!" Bring on the hills, next Monday I'll see you there!

Still don't understand the running bug you have caught, but am glad that it is giving you so much confidence. That is hard!

Your dedication is so motivating. I would love to do a race like that but there isn't anyone around me that I know who would do that. Have fun & yes hard work pays off in the end!! :)
