Seriously.... ME?!?

Ok....here is the background on this story. Back in January I went in for a one hour massage with Mandy...she is awesome. She also runs and we were talking about half marathons and marathons and she mentioned the Ragnar Relay. She said it was a lot of fun, and that I should do it if I could find 11 other people to run with me. I looked at it, but alas...I am but one person and that is all I did. Now, fast foreward about 2 months to a very energetic email that I received from Lisa (an old friend whom I am looking foreward to reconnecting with) about two weeks ago. Seriously? Me? Running Ragnar? Hmmmm....... The things that ran through my mind at the time... new year, new me, new life, hmmmm... never run Ragnar before....that is new. Hmmmm..... seriously, me? I'm in... both feet, I'm excited and nervous, but I am in. For anyone who stumbles face first upon my ramblings... here is the guts of what Ragnar really is. Twelve of your closest friends (they will be soon anyway), 195 miles of running, and 24 hours to run it relay style. We will be running from Winona MN to Minneapolis MN, zigzagging our way across the Mississippi river all the way up to Stillwater before winding back around to Minneapolis. Did I mention that this is running? Seriously, me? wow I must be nuts! Well, for the fun of it I decided to pick up where I had left off on this blog last summer sometime and actually blog about my training and the experiences that I have in the process. Let's go running!
