Ragnar 2013

This past weekend I ran my first Ragnar Trail relay race. What is the Ragnar Trail Relay race? 3 trails, 8 friends and 130 miles.  It was awesome! Also, if you are wondering what Ragnar means..."Ragnar was a Norse Viking in the 9th century...because he was an adventure seeking, conquering, tough guy." And believe me, I definitely feel like a tough guy. 
I ran a total of 16.5 miles and Zac even got to run too. The other team was short a runner so Zac stepped in at the last minute and ran two of their legs. He did awesome! My team finished just under 24 hours and none of us had ever run a Ragnar before. 
I am really proud of all of my runs. I ran at 5:30pm, 12:30am and 8:30am all on about 4 hours of sleep. It was absolutely beautiful. And reminded me why I love to run. It was a full moon so even on my night run I hardly used my headlamp. Special thanks to my sister-in-law for inviting me to do it. I am already planning the next one...

Phew.....Where did September go? The last month has been a complete whirlwind. Here is a quick recap of what is up......

• Zac finally finished his internship! Woohoo! I love having him home and I love having a car again.
• We went home to beautiful Arizona because Lindsey came home! It was so great to see her and see all of my siblings. We are just a bunch of goof balls when we get together. We were finally all together for the first time since 2011. I am so lucky to have such fun siblings that all get along. I never would have thought of it when I 10 and my brother steal my barbies just to tease me. Lindsey looked amazing and just shined! She gave a wonderful talk and you can tell that she was an amazing missionary. The weekend was just too short. 
• I am now a full-time Wellness Specialist! I even went on my first business trip last week. Watch out! I have a big girl job. 
• Zac and I went to a Dodgers game. I will never ever live in LA because traffic is awful. But the game was fun. Because of traffic, we missed out on some awesome snuggies, I mean sleeved blankets....
• Zac started his last quarter of school ever last week! 
• We joined the coolest thing ever.....meal swaps. Us and three of our friends take turns making a meal, then everyone picks up a enough food for their family. So Zac and I only have to cook like three times a week now. It is great. 
• My city league volleyball team dominated the championship! Say hello to the two time defending champs. 
• Zac and I finished our infertility testing and they didn't find anything, giving us the official diagnosis of unexplained infertility. I am happy that they didn't find any problems, but it would be nice to have a problem to work with. So for now, I will be taking a drug called Clomid. They gave us three months before we move on to the next step...I am just hoping that it isn't three months of disappointment. 

Zac and I celebrated our four year anniversary a little late because he was in LA. It took me out to eat and this pretty cool restaurant.
