ragnar, las vegas

well my family has put together a ragnar team for the las vegas relay. i am running on this team, the thing is i'm not a runner. at. allllllllll. {pretty much everyone on my team IS a runner.} thankfully i have 4 months to get my butt kicked into shape and ready to run the 12 something miles, sweet hell. i'm trying to make more health conscience decisions, starting to get my body into shape, and laying in my bed at night terrified. i have 11 other people counting on my to do my part for the next 4 months, pretty good motivation, but a LOT of pressure! amy already told me i can't walk.....

keep in mind i'm running on the same team as this brother. what are we all thinking!?

and seriously, i'm so terrified, i've never done anything like this!

As long as you train you will do just fine!!! And it will be a blast. Can't wait for October!!!

We have alot to do before Oct. like get Jamie moved back and have another pizza party at the pool. Did you give the punch card to your Mom?

Let's run together while you're training! I need a running partner and we live so close to each other now!!!

I agree with Amy as long as you train you'll do fine. And in the process you'll come to love running or maybe not ;0), but you'll have fun doing it with your family!! Way to go Brooke I know you can do anything you put your mind too.

I just stumbled upon your blog about RAGNAR because I'm just beginning training for it! I have a little more than 5 weeks to train! My friend asked me to be on her team last week and I, like you, am terrified of letting my team down and not pulling my weight! Best of luck to you and your team! How far are you running now?

Amy & Patty Sue,
Have fun and relax. I am not a "runner" either and I just finished my first Ragnar this past weekend in DC. Had so much fun, I just signed up to run the PA one in 2 weeks.
You will have a great time!!
