Wasatch Back Relay

Today, Eric ran the Wasatch Back Relay. The race begins in Logan, Utah and finishes in Park City. It is a total of 177 miles and that is split between 12 runners, each running 3 legs. Eric ran about 16 miles total. The first run was brutal. It was a 7 mile run, 1 1/2 uphill and 5 1/2 miles down. The biggest problem was the heat. It was 3:30 in the afternoon when he started running and the temperature was 95 degrees. Needless to say he was struggling with the heat a bit. It was so much fun, though to see his team run through the finish line. What an accomplishment. Ryan was thrilled to be outside for such a long time.

I took Ryan to the pool last week, he was so much fun. He just sat in there for a little bit, and then relaxed. So, I decided to take him again this week. Well, he slept the whole time. I am sure that the heat takes a toll on him. It was in the upper 90's and he just sleeps when we are outside. I don't think he knows what else do to with the heat. I know that it sucks the energy right out of me.

I am officially training for the Moab half marathon in October. I am going to do it. I have started the pre training. I have to get myself into shape before I can begin training. I am excited and am looking forward to finishing it!
