I’m taking a break today from finishing my Ragnar Trail Appalachians WV recaps to introduce you to my amazing teammates! If you’ve missed my recaps, you can catch up by clicking on these three links: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. As I’ve mentioned before, I had so much fun on my Cruisers‘ Ragnar […]
If you’re joining my Ragnar Trail Appalachians WV party late, you can catch up by clicking on Part 1 and Part 2 to read my two previous recaps. I left off on my previous recap while waiting to run my first nighttime run of the relay. I had expected to run my second leg around […]
Yesterday I left off my Ragnar Trail Appalachians WV recap just as our team captain and first runner Gayle came running into the exchange chute ready to hand off our team bib to me for my first leg. Due to the extremely muddy conditions, Ragnar had moved everyone’s start times up one hour. With the […]
There are bucket list items to check off; and then there are bucket list items to check off. On Friday and Saturday I checked off the latter… Running a Ragnar Relay was on my “to do” list for years, but it wasn’t until this past fall that I checked that item off my list when […]

If you’re joining my Ragnar DC party late, you can catch up by clicking on Part 1 and Part 2, to read my two previous posts. I left off with Van 2 heading to The Creamery at Exchange 18 in hopes of getting some sleep while we waited for Van 1 to run their legs. […]
Picking right up where I left off yesterday in my Ragnar DC recap, today’s post will be all about Van 2’s first set of legs. If you remember Ravi (from Van 1) had just handed the slap bracelet off to Candy, and Van 2 was in hot pursuit! We caught up with Candy as she […]
I really don’t know where to start… How do you sum up such an incredibly amazing weekend in one short blog post? You don’t… Way back in early April when I registered our team for Ragnar DC, I picked Runner 8 because it seemed like the hardest position overall. Runner 8 seemed to have a […]
As I approach my targeted fall race, the Hokie Half Marathon, I’m hoping to peak at just the right time. Having two other big races a month and two months prior has its advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, I’m able to test my training to see where I am in the way of […]
It’s over… I’m a Ragnarian, and I’m feeling the blues like it’s the day after Christmas. What now? There’s no planning, no organizing, no packing; just basking in the afterglow of a job well done by my amazing team of friends! This evening’s post isn’t a recap. It’s just to let you know that we […]
If you remember back in early April, I announced that I was putting together a DC Ragnar Relay team. Last week, after several social media blitzes, I filled the last spot on team Cruisers Rockin’ The Relay. Lame name, I know… My friend Chuck agreed to help me out as co-captain if I formed […]
Question: What is a Ragnar Relay? Answer: It’s a team of twelve runners that are cooped up in two vans for approximately two days getting stinkier by the hour… Question: What will you do for two days? Answer: Run, eat, drive, wait; run, eat, drive, wait; run, eat, drive, wait (notice the lack of sleep) […]
