Fish Lake Relay and team Laters Baby finished it!

About 6 weeks before the Fish Lake Relay I started training to run a half marathon with my friend Bonnie. Thought it sounded like a good goal to accomplish. About 2 weeks into my running Carrie Curtis and Steph Baker decided we should try to run the Fishlake Relay. WTH were we thinking! That ment that we would run from Bowery Haven to Richfield City Park. Yes that is 62 miles between 6 of us. Holy S*&^! We knew it would be hard. Ha! But we thought we could handle it. We ran a few of the legs before the race. The first 6 legs weren't to bad. It kinda of got us all a little cocky. The next 6 kicked our trash! We definatly should have trained a lot more. Now we know what to expect and I think we are going to give it a try next year. Our training started the week after the Fishlake Relay. We definatly needed a few days of recovery.

When we started our run all we really wanted to do was finish. We knew we would never win and we had high hopes of not coming in last. But we did. Last place was ours. We didn't feel to bad about it though because the real accomplishment was to just finish it. And we did it!

 Bonnie and Chantz tagging off. Bonnie ran the 1st and 3rd legs.The morning runs were freezing cold! We didn't really plan for that. We sure will next year!

 Bonnie and Pat tagging up for Pat's 1st leg.

This was the hardest one of the relay and Pat voluntered for it. Thank you Pat!

I have no idea the WT crap these 2 were doing!

But even though this relay was very hard we still of course had lots of fun!

 Carries's nasty blister that helped her run her 2nd leg! Sucky! She is one tough lady.

 

 Throughout the relay we got out and helped each other get through the tougher parts of our legs. This relay would have been a little easier if we had someone to run it with.

 Steph finished her second leg and she good gamed Chantz and that was the tag! Chantz ran the last leg into the Richfield City Park.

 This was my 1st leg. I ran 4.65 miles in 45 minutes. I was feeling pretty proud of that. My second leg sucked rocks and it was not anything to brag about by any means!

 Steph finished her second leg and was very happy. She had two long hot legs!

 

My kids had so much fun following our runs and cheering us on! They met me at the Sigurd turn and ran to the gas station with me.

 They were so proud of their mommy!

 

 

 

I just have to say once again WE FINISHED! Lets see what next year brings!

 

Bonnie Robins, Alicia Beckstead, Steph Baker, Chantz Ogden, Carrie Curtis and Pat Curtis!

Way to Go team LATERS BABY! HaHa!
