This past weekend Rylee, Blake, mom and I went to Rexburg for our annual Teton Dam Marathon!!! We do this ever year we make a team of 6 runners with whoever in the family is ready to run, we have so much fun. We left Salt Lake on Friday night after work I had to leave Sadie and Spencer with Eddie because I had no one to watch them while I ran. The feeling without kids was kind of weird but it was nice to not worry about them and relax and sleep in just a bit. On the way to Rexburg we thought it sounded good to stop to eat at Maddox for dinner none of us liked it Rylee had a fried shrimp patty which she doesn't eat fried food, I had a ground sirloin steak which I didn't realize was basically a huge burger with a plate full of steamed carrots, Blake had fried chicken but didn't eat much because he was not hungry, and mom like her shrimp patty!!! Dinner was like 20 dollars a piece which was not worth it and then we didn't get to Rexburg til about 1130 pm. We talked a bit to Dan and Sandy when we got there and then went to bed because we had to wake up at 5:15 for the run!!! Missy came to the house at 530 and we headed out to pick up Tiff and then to the Teton Dam. The weather was freezing and it had been raining during the night which made the first 2 legs of the race very muddy because it was a dirt trail!! Missy started us out at the dam on the first leg burr!!!!
Blake was out second runner!!! What a good sport the only boy not sure he loved it he said someone else could take his turn next year!!
Rylee wanted to be the 3rd runner so she could transition with her hubby for a picture!!! She also needed a flat run because her hip was hurting!
Mom ready to rock and roll trying to get her energy up she was the 4th runner. This was her warmup dance because she was freezing!
Tiffany our 5th runner who volunteered to run up Summers hill which is up hill the whole way for 4 miles. I did this last year and it is long and steep!! She was practicing for her Ragnar race!
Tiff and mom transitioning runner 4 and 5!!
The 3 scott girls we had so much fun half the fun is waiting in the car and cheering people on!
Me waiting for Tiff to transition for the last leg of the race. This year I did the section my mom usually does into town and the final leg which is 5 miles! I loved this run the best!!
Ready, set, go last leg!!!
I was happy at the start!!!
Coming in at the finish line there was another relay girl right behind me and she went past me at the finish line and I tried so hard to catch her and couldn't I sprinted my fasted. Since I was sprinting we didn't get a great picture of us through the finish line but this was the best picture we got. I was ticked I couldn't pass that girl and i also paid for it because that last little bit that I sprinted made my thighs sore for a few days after!!
Yeah go Runners Crew (me, Tiff, mom Rylee, Blake and Missy)!!!!! Dan made us our annual team tanks this year they were neon yellow with orange writing the Runners Crew!!! After the race we went home and relaxed and then we all met out at Missy and Scott's house for tacos and to play with the kids!!!
