Here are some highlights:
I didn't get any pictures of my mom running the first leg :( but she did awesome, especially considering the kidney stone that she had been dealing with for the last couple of days!
2nd leg: Me, powering up the hill. I did it in just under 54 minutes which I was very happy with, considering the hill.
3rd leg: Katie, being silly :) This woman had a baby 4 months ago. Can you believe it?!
Katy's 4 month old baby girl joined us for the day and was really good. She had a hard time when her mom left to run and here I am trying to calm her down. She was okay for me for a minute, but it was Kristel that had the magic touch and was able to get her to sleep. Must come from having girls!
4th leg: Kristel looking good as always! She did amazing and ran her whole leg in really good time. She ran the same one last year and it has some really good hills, so she had to walk some. Her goal this year was to do the same leg, but to run the whole thing and she totally did it! Way to go Kristel!
5th leg: Here is Diane and her sweet neighbor Amy who came and ran (well, walked for her because she has such long legs) the whole 5 miles with Diane!
6th leg: Brooklyn, who joined us the week of because someone else dropped out. It was hilarious because we kept trying to cheer her on, but she had her hard rock music up so loud she couldn't hear anything! We had to mime to ask her if she wanted water, or sprayed off. I kept forgetting and trying to talk to her and it was pretty embarrassing. :)
7th leg: Chris ran this one, and I was driving so I didn't get any pictures of him running :( but here is one just to show how awesome he is!! Ha ha!
Here's Diane with the awesome thing we used to spray each other off when we got hot. Don't worry, it's never had weed killer in it! Seriously, it's amazing though. Every team should do this!
8th leg: Collin brought it home! It was so hot by this time that we gave up trying to spray him and Kristel just started dumping whole water bottles over his head. What a sweet wife huh?!
Here's a picture of all three teams together before the race started. The other teams were so fast we only saw them once, when they were going the other direction.
Our team at the finish. Brooklyn had to leave after she ran to go to work, which was a bummer. I think my mom and Chris are sharing some private joke, what do you think? Maybe it's the fact that they are both holding ice cream?
Here's a picture of most of Tim and Mary's team. They both did great. Tim ran his leg (probably the 2nd hardest) in 30 minutes, and still got out and ran with the other team members to encourage them. Then when they were waiting for our team to finish he went out and ran another 4 miles because he is training for a marathon. What an animal!
And finally, here is William enjoying his ice cream at the end. We were so grateful to my dad who watched the kids in the early morning and brought them up to see me run, and to Chris's mom for watching them the rest of the day and bringing them to us at the end. They are definitely our biggest fans! It was so fun to hear them whooping and hollering at me while I was running!

WAY TO GO!!! this is awesome. You look pretty when you run! haha. I ran in a team in high school- we almost did it this year but it kind of fizzled out. Again, good job, that's awesome!
Wow! Good work! I can't believe you ran up that hill. I have been to Bone before, believe it or not. It's so far out there. We went there trying to locate Jacob's weather balloon and ended up getting stuck in the snow... but that's another story. Awesome job on your run!
