Run Dave RUN!!!!!

Over the weekend, Dave had the opportunity to run at the Ragnar-Wasatch Back Relay Race... BOY!!! That was an ADVENTURE for him!!! Its 188 miles starting from Logan finishing in Park City. There was a team of 12 and each one of them gets 3 legs... by the time they get to their 3rd leg... everyone wants to die. Thankfully they didn't... THEY MADE IT in 31 hours!



This is Dave's team "Vicious and Delicious" in Van 2... before the race.

Here's Dave running on his first leg in Snow Basin... 3.1 miles with 900 feet elevation

RUN Dave RUN!!!

This is our good friend Scott who is in our ward... he is a GREAT motivator for Dave!!

One of those REALLY late night runs... Scott handing over the "baton" which is a slap on bracelet to keep track of the time at the finish line.

Okay... first off... PLEASE excuse my crappy camera skills... this one kinda caught me by surprise that he passed by so quickly without notice... there is a lot of people... ignore the end. Here is Dave and his team running to the finish line!!! YEAH!

Checking out the finished time... 31 hours!!!

Dave is SO glad to see his favorite fans waiting at the finished line! So worth it!

Showing the kids his medal!

All of his 12 teamates... "Vicious and Delicious!"

RAGNAR!!! Can't wait till next year!!!

***Side note: There is no picture of Dave running his 2nd leg unless someone on his team took one... we've talked about compiling some pictures together later on... if it does happen, I'll post it for sure! Here's a quick story to make it all better!

Medicinal Powers of the Taggy - by Dave

So I'm laying on the bed tonight and Shannon is massaging my legs from my rough weekend and having great fun inflicting some serious pain as she tries to "help it feel better" and as I'm laying there yelping in great pain and almost in tears, my son comes running in with his special blanket and says, "Quick dad, take the the taggy" ----- If any of you know Coleman, you know how funny and special that statement was.
