For the past 14 weeks I have been training for a Ragnar Race. A Ragnar is a race where you team up with friends and split up the miles. We have 12 women and we will run 200 total miles in 24 hours. Crazy I know! We begin in Cumberland Maryland and end in DC at the monuments. When I first started training I went from no exercise really at all (I hadn’t started after having Kyle-terrible I know) to running 4 times a week. It has taken over my life it seems. Most days I hate the time commitment but then after I run the feeling is such a high that it keeps me loving it. I am so proud and grateful for my body. So often I criticize and critique my body when really that is the last thing I should do. It is good and strong and can do amazing things. The summer after I had Hallie I did a couple 5k’s which were a big deal for me. Now I eat 5k’s for breakfast haha. I can comfortably run 6 miles at this point in training and I’m getting fast. I love it! I never thought I’d be able to do this and I feel proud after each run. That is a feeling I miss since leaving the world and becoming a stay at home mom. Feeling like I rock! lol I am so glad my friend Molly thought of doing this race and asked me to join her. I have learned a lot about myself and it has given me something to achieve. It is now safe to say that I am a runner. 🙂
p.s. I will be running about 16 miles divided up into 3 different legs.
You go girl! I wish I had the discipline to start running! Good luck with the race!
Good luck with the Ragnar! You’ll have so much fun, even if you don’t know it’s fun at the time! It’s an awesome experience!
Those are some pretty sweet kicks too!
That’s so awesome Brittany! Good luck!
Awesome. I have always wanted to get together with a bunch of ladies and do that, but very few ladies I know would want to. Too bad- looks like it will be a blast- all be it tiring! You do rock, lady!
